WHY WORK WITH ME?

First of all, I am really nice, I am very good at what I do, and I will make sure you feel comfortable, understood, and human. You will never be judged, or made to feel broken or ‘less than’, when you are with me. All of you is welcome, the good bad and ugly!

Secondly, I have a really cute therapy dog, her name is Piki and she will, if you’d like, be in the room with us! “Piki” is a te reo Maori word meaning “to jump or climb” - don’t worry, she wont jump or climb on you, but she will come and comfort you with a paw on your leg when she thinks you might need it.

Third, I offer a premium service - this includes flexibility if you need it, fast and easy access to appointments, and no waitlist. Because its just you and I working together, we get to decide what that looks like, based on what we agree is best for you. You can pay me in multiple different ways, and I do also accept health insurance - though this of course depends on your policy. Mainly I accept NIB, Southern Cross, Clearhead, and some other providers, just ask :)

Fourth - I am not you average therapist. I do not wear shoes in my office, and you’ll catch me wearing shorts in summer, I say swear words, and we will laugh together, lots. I will also not shy away from telling you what you need to hear, and I will challenge you in the ways I think you might need it. You can also tell me if you disagree with me - that is so welcome. We will do more than just talk about the past, we will piece things together in ways that will help you move through it, understand yourself and your behaviour patterns, and we will dream big about the present and future, and how you want to be. I will teach you things, and you will not leave my office feeling like you just rambled and I just listened nicely. In our work, you will learn and grow, and you will make changes to your mindset, mood, lifestyle, stress levels, behaviour patterns, coping, relationships, and more! You may also have fun while doing it - that’s my goal!
