Individual therapy services are provided face to face in Nelson/Whakatū, New Zealand/Aotearoa and/or via Telehealth. I create a safe, non-judgmental and supportive therapeutic space where you can develop the insight and self-awareness needed to create meaningful change in your life.
You may be exploring therapy for a range of reasons – to process difficult and uncomfortable feelings and experiences, deal with life challenges, or to explore barriers getting in the way of emotional and mental wellbeing.
In our sessions, I will hold space for you to delve deeper and better understand the challenges you are experiencing. Tools and strategies are offered that support your own innate wisdom, strength and capacity to grow and develop in the direction you seek.
Using a trauma-informed approach and incorporating a range of modalities such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), therapy sessions are tailored to suit your individual needs and goals.

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy can be used for a range of mental and emotional health issues. CBT explores thought patterns and their effect on your moods, providing a range of tools and strategies to manage unhelpful thoughts and behaviour that are impacting on your life and the achievement of your goals.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is all about accepting what you can’t control and committing to action to improve your life. The goal is to foster a rich life, and to accept the pain that inevitably comes with that.
ACT helps you focus on your values and what is meaningful to you and supports you to use this to change your life for the better. Mindfulness skills are an important part of ACT, giving you a toolkit to handle unpleasant thoughts, sensations and images, rather than trying to avoid them.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
This modality works with opposites, exploring both acceptance and change strategies. You are accepted as you are, but acknowledgement is made that change is necessary to help you move forward in pursuit of your goals. DBT explores mindfulness and distress tolerance, as well as emotional regulation and interpersonal skills such as assertiveness and boundary setting.
Solution Focused Therapy (SFT)
Solution Focused Therapy is future focused and goal oriented. As the name indicates, SFT focuses on solutions rather than problems. SFT supports you to develop and achieve the solutions you want, and motivates and sustains positive behaviour change.
