About Me
As a medical specialist, I am deeply interested in how we navigate life and truly know ourselves. My practice in psychodynamic psychotherapy helps you explore the intricate connections between your past and present. We can uncover patterns that shape your responses, leading to greater self-awareness. This approach is ideal for those seeking a deeper understanding of their inner world and lasting change. My professional journey and personal insights inform our collaborative work together.
Approach
Curiosity about the paths people take shapes how I work: I listen for recurring responses and moments that open into new understanding, then hold them alongside practical steps you can try between meetings. I offer appointments in Dunedin or by video in English, creating a steady, predictable frame where difficult material can be explored at a measured pace. Sessions tend to combine reflective listening, focused exploration of identity and trauma, and gentle testing of new ways to act. This way often suits people seeking deeper, lasting change.
