As a counsellor, I believe in working with people to help them achieve their potential. I believe people have strengths and qualities, and by working together to improve mental health, self-esteem, self-confidence and a sense of control over their own lives, these strengths can be brought into reality. I see counselling as a true collaboration – I bring knowledge of strategies that can help, and clients know best what works for them. I find Waipuna a very inspiring place to work, often in awe of people’s courage and resilience.
