Welcome and thank you for being here.
Many people come to therapy carrying feelings that are difficult to hold alone — uncertainty, overwhelm, or trauma from the impact of past experiences. At the Taūla Clinic, you will find a safe, respectful, and confidential space where you can speak openly about the experiences or challenges that you may be experiencing.
In our work together, we will explore your experiences, develop a deeper understanding of what you may be going through, and consider meaningful ways forward that support your wellbeing. My aim is to provide a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported as you make sense of your experiences and strengthen your capacity to navigate life’s challenges.
The Taūla Clinic provides professional psychological support tailored to your individual needs. If you would like to learn more about the services available, please visit the services page. You are also welcome to get in touch if you have questions or would like to arrange an appointment.

Counselling Therapy
Counselling Therapy provides a safe and confidential space to explore any challenges or concerns you may be experiencing.
At the Taūla Clinic, I work with you using evidence-based therapeutic approaches, with the aim of supporting your understanding, confidence, and capacity to manage difficulties in ways that are meaningful and effective for you
Reflective practice is a vital part of professional development, supporting ethical, high-quality service delivery. At the Taūla Clinic, I offer individual supervision sessions as well as tailored support for organizations, including evidence-based training and guidance. These sessions are designed to enhance self-awareness, strengthen professional competence, and build confidence within your workforce.
Specializing in Pacific cultural approaches within the Aotearoa New Zealand context, the Taūla Clinic integrates evidence-based knowledge with collaborative approaches to provide cultural and community based services.
Grounded in a deep understanding of Pacific cultures and worldviews, all support is tailored to meet the unique needs and priorities of each client and community partner.
