Work with Me
This is a space to be real
To stop pretending you're okay. To say the thing you haven't been able to say anywhere else. To begin making sense of what you actually need.
If you've found your way here, you probably don't need to know exactly what that is yet.
We can start there.
HOW I WORK
I don't follow a specific formula.
Every person who comes to me is carrying something different, so every session is different too.
I bring decades of nursing and therapeutic experience, alongside training in Hypnotherapy, Havening, Somatic and Relational approaches, Attachment and Coaching. I don't begin with a method, though. I begin with whats really going on with you.
Sometimes the work is spoken. Sometimes there is more space and silence. And sometimes we pay attention to what the body is telling us before trying to understand everything with the mind.
What stays the same is my approach.
Unhurried, honest and led by what you need.
You just have to show up.
WHO I WORK WITH
1:1 Individual Sessions
People come for all sorts of reasons.
Sometimes there's a clear event or problem. Sometimes there isn't.
You may be exhausted, grieving, navigating change, repeating something you understand but can't seem to shift, or simply aware that the way you've been managing isn't working anymore.
You don't need a diagnosis, a neatly defined problem or an explanation before you come.
I also have particular experience supporting people around grief, dying and the end-of-life, whether they are facing it themselves or alongside someone they love.
Sessions are 60–90 minutes and available in person in Nelson or online.
$185 NZD per session, including GST.
If cost is a barrier, we can talk.
Parenting & Circle of Security™
Parenting can bring us face-to-face with parts of ourselves we didn't know were there.
I work individually with parents and caregivers and also facilitate the Circle of Security Parenting™ programme, helping people understand what sits underneath behaviour and what children may be asking for through it.

Professional Development & Education
I work with health, education and community organisations, bringing together decades of nursing, teaching and therapeutic experience.
Sessions can explore attachment, trauma, nervous system regulation, neurodiversity, relationships, compassion fatigue, burnout and the realities of supporting other people without losing ourselves in the process.
Workshops are shaped around the people in the room rather than delivered from a fixed package.

HOW MANY SESSIONS?
There isn't a fixed number. Some people come once. Others choose to work together over time.
We decide as we go, and there's no expectation that you continue beyond what feels useful.
Not sure where to start?
We can have a free 20-minute conversation about what's happening and whether I'm the right person to help.
No sales pitch or pressure. Just a conversation.
