Clinical Psychologist

I am a clinical psychologist with 29 years of experience, originally from South Africa and practicing as a clinical psychologist in New Zealand for the past six years.

I have worked in various fields in South Africa, including private practice, inpatient and outpatient mental health at a Psychiatric Hospital, and in Nuclear Safety and Security (including Human Factors work), before I relocated to New Zealand six years ago to pursue my passion for forensic psychology.

I am currently a Manager of Psychological Services at Ara Poutama Department of Corrections in Hamilton. I am doing private practice work on Fridays or some evenings if needed and plan to make The Tea House, 191 Peachgrove Road, Claudelands, Hamilton my "home" for this work.


My interests are the following:

• Relationship Challenges

• Problems with Mood -- Major Depression, Dysthymia, Bipolar Disorder, etc.

• Problems with Anxiety -- Panic Disorder, GAD, OCD, PTSD, etc.

• Bereavement

• Personality Challenges

• Stress

• Intimacy issues, especially women's challenges (e.g., menopause, infertility, etc)

I am passionate about helping people and assist people and couples to find the answers within themselves to achieve their potential.
