I am a qualified Counsellor (MNZAC No.67945) living semi-rural in the Selwyn District of Canterbury. I have an online private practice and also am a provider for ACC ISSC (senstive claims). Working online allows me to be your counsellor no matter where you are in New Zealand.

I love to laugh, the kind that hurts your tummy and makes you cry, and have found it to be one of nature’s best medicines.  I am motivated and passionate about striving for life’s balance, ensuring hope remains and that happiness does not fall out of reach, no matter how tough things get.

My youngest son is intellectually and physically disabled which has not only challenged me more than I could have ever imagined, but has provided me with unique insights that can only be gained by such an experience. During his past 18 years I have met the most incredible humans who continue to inspire me, making counselling the very best career choice for me.

Choosing the name ‘Good Grief Counselling’ was an obvious choice for me.  I’ve learned throughout the years that no matter what we experience in life that ‘grief’ is inescapable, it finds us at some point, often in multiple ways and showing up in many forms. The loss of any kind (not always through death) can be the cause of grief.  But we can make ‘good’ with it. Learning about how we have coped and what strengths we have developed in spite of it can carry us through future challenges in the best way possible.  Everyone deserves happiness no matter what. You deserve happiness no matter what.
