About me

I graduated as a registered nurse in 1983 and have worked with a diverse group of people in a variety of health sectors.

After growing up in the Bay of Plenty, I travelled and worked in New Zealand and overseas before returning to Mount Maunganui in 2010.

In 2000 I obtained a diploma in Counselling. I have trained in a range of techniques and services starting as a Youthline Counsellor in 1993.

Over the years I have found a real sense of purpose working with vulnerable groups particularly people with mental and emotional issues.

I have an informed and down-to-earth counselling style. I have always adopted a holistic approach to well being and I’m passionate about informing and educating people so they can manage their own health and well being.
