PSYCHOLOGISTS 

I  trained as a Clinical Psychologist at Auckland University, graduating in 1992.  After working in Auckland for a few years, I lived in London for 7 years working as a Clinical Psychologist there with a wide range of adult mental health issues.  During this time I completed ongoing trainings in Cognitive Therapies.  These include  Schema Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and Cognitive Therapy for Hallucinations & Delusions 

While in London I also did a 5 year training at the Chiron Centre in Humanistic Body Psychotherapy.  The course included Gestalt Body Psychotherapy, Reichian-oriented bodywork (vegetotherapy), Bioenergetic exercises, Body Reading, and  Biodynamic Massage, and the process of using these within the psychotherapeutic process and a psychodynamic framework.  I also trained in Somatic Trauma Therapy Parts I, 2 & 3 with Babette Rothschild.  At the present time I am training in the Diamond Essence approach of A.H. Almaas and how this spiritual understanding can be woven in with other forms of psychotherapy. 

Since returning from the UK at the end of 2000, I have been working in Private Practice in the Ponsonby area..   

I have been working for 20 years in the psychotherapy field.  Initially with Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy in Private Practice in Auckland, then in the UK for 7 years working with Mental Illness and then with Anxiety Disorders.   

While in London I also did a 5 year training at the Chiron Centre in Humanisitic Body Psychotherapy.  The course included Gestalt Body Psychotherapy, Reichian-oriented bodywork (vegetotherapy), Bioenergetic exercises, Body Reading, and  Biodynamic Massage, and the process of using these within the psychotherapeutic process and a humanisitic framework.  I also trained in Somatic Trauma Therapy Parts I, 2 & 3 with Babette Rothschild.      

I returned to New Zealand in 2000, and now work in private practice.    I use Cognitive Therapy combined with humanistic psychotherapy methods, and EMDR..
