ABOUT ME

I am passionate about people of all ages. I work with people from all walks of life across a broad range of issues including anxiety and depression, self esteem and confidence, trauma, relationship issues, loneliness, stress management and those affected by parental alcoholism (ACOA’s). As a qualified counsellor I offer short and long-term counselling in the Cromwell and Queenstown area. Trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Narrative therapy, I am able to offer different counselling approaches to suit you and your situation. As a Christian, my faith gives me a strong foundation for the hope that I offer to those who seek my counselling services. Married for 34 years - my husband and I have overcome many obstacles that enables me to offer support to those who are experiencing difficulty in their marriage. Prior to my counselling career, I have 20+ years in Retail.

Some of my richest life experiences have come from being a wife, mother, grandmother, and host mum to 20+ International/Exchange students from different countries and cultures. These experiences strengthen the service I offer and enable me to bring openness, compassion, honesty, respect and caring to my counselling practice. I am committed to developing my skills and experience through an ongoing commitment to professional development.
