Psychotherapist • Counsellor •

Clinical Transactional Analyst • Holistic Practitioner

My professional journey has always been centred around one thing:

supporting people to discover their own capacity for healing, growth and transformation.

Originally from Switzerland, I came to Aotearoa New Zealand more than 30 years ago.

Over the past 25+ years I have worked extensively within the mental health and wellbeing field, including psychotherapy, counselling, primary mental health, grief and bereavement support, trauma-informed practice, personal development and clinical supervision.

My professional foundation is psychotherapy, and I value the importance of creating a safe, ethical and respectful therapeutic relationship.

Over time, however, my work has naturally expanded.

I have become increasingly interested in the relationship between psychological wellbeing, the intelligence of the body, energy, intuition and consciousness.

This has led me to integrate a range of holistic and transformational approaches into my practice.

My approach

I work in a person-centred, holistic and integrative way.

I listen deeply to what you bring, while remaining attentive to the patterns, beliefs, emotions and experiences that may be influencing your present reality.

Depending on your needs and intentions, our work may include psychotherapy, counselling, therapeutic conversation, energy-based practices, intuitive exploration or consciousness-based approaches.

My role is not to tell you what your journey should look like.

It is to support you to become more aware of yourself, strengthen your own inner resources and make choices that are increasingly aligned with who you are.

My Approach

Integrating the traditional with the multidimensional

I believe there is value in both established therapeutic practice and emerging ways of understanding human experience.

Psychotherapy can help us understand our thoughts, emotions, relationships and patterns.

Holistic approaches invite us to also consider the body, energy, intuition and our wider experience of self. For those who feel called to explore further, my work also encompasses higher-frequency and multidimensional perspectives.

I hold these different approaches with openness, discernment and respect. Grounded enough to feel safe. - Open enough to explore what is possible.

A little about my philosophy

I believe that people are far more than the difficulties they may currently be experiencing.

Behind anxiety, grief, trauma, fear, limiting beliefs or feelings of being stuck is often a deeper part of ourselves that remains capable of growth, connection and change. My work is about creating the conditions for that awareness to emerge.

Not through force. Not through judgement.But through presence, curiosity, compassion and conscious choice.

Your life is your journey.
My role is to walk alongside you for a while.
