Individual Therapy

Life throws many surprises at us. While we cannot predict the outcome of any situation, we can take control of how we respond to those situations. This can be to begin with acceptance and how to exert freedom of choice over whatever life may throw at.

My approach is based on the wholistic framework of health and well-being: Te Whare Tapa Wha. It is a model representing the four basic beliefs of life (Durie, 1998 & Mauri Ora, 2003):

Te Taha Wairua (spiritual health)
Te Taha Hinengaro (psychological/mental health)
Te Taha Tinana (physical health)
Te Taha Whanau (relational health).

I offer various modalities of counselling that suit your need, such as Polyvagal Informed Therapy, EMDR, Trauma Sensitive Yoga and Breathing Retraining.

EMDR

I am EMDARAA Accredited Practitioner. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Restructuring (EMDR) is an effective approach to psychotherapy that accelerates the treatment of a wide range of mental health issues including past traumatic events and present life conditions. Some of the studies show that 84%-90% of single-trauma victims no longer have post-traumatic stress disorder after EMDR therapy. EMDR is one of the only two therapies recommended for PTSD by the World Health Organisation. I provide both Individual and Group EMDR Therapy.
