My Offerings

In my private practice I meet with people for spiritual direction, counselling, and supervision.

The Writing Your Way Home course is my most recent initiative. I will also be offering private retreats at a purpose-built retreat accommodation on our property in Te Atatū, Auckland from mid-2027.

I love Martin Buber’s central tenet that “all of life is meeting” and believe that our lives are fundamentally interpersonal.

We come alive through genuine, meaningful, and open dialogue. For the last 21 years I have worked in the therapeutic field. In my private practice I provide a grounding, and deeply human holding relationship. In this safe space my clients can examine their rich and multifaceted lives, reveal their innermost being, and create solutions that align with their personal hopes and dreams.

Spiritual direction

We are on a spiritual journey of becoming all that we are intended to be. It is my joy, as a spiritual director, to accompany you on this journey. I offer you the gift of dialogue, genuine presence, and welcoming hospitality. It is in this sancturay that you can explore your inner life, make sense of life as it comes to you, and draw closer to God. LEARN MORE

Counselling

Life can be challenging and the problems we face affect how we view and navigate our world. We might feel alone, having lost our normal sense of power, hope, and direction. Your story and adverse experiences are unique and my job as a counsellor is to choose an approach that fits your individual needs and goals. CONTACT ME

Supervision

Supervision is a formal, confidential and encouraging process supporting your wellbeing, the wellbeing of those you care for and your professional development. It offers a place for reflection and inquiry ensuring that you continue to develop in your skills and strengths. I offer supervision to a wide range of professionals.

Retreats at Eden

Step away from the demands of everyday life and make space to listen more deeply. Eden, a Sanctuary of Shore and Silence offers a peaceful coastal setting for rest, reflection and renewal.
