Having worked as a Family Psychologist for many years, I am thrilled to have now joined forces with my wife Ann and to be practicing together from the same premises in Kaiapoi.
My particular specialist interest is assisting couples and individuals experiencing relationship difficulties. This includes pre and post separation concerns including arrangements for the care of their children. I am very familiar with Family Court processes and, in addition to Private clients, I receive referrals through the Family Court.
I accept referrals from a variety of sources including GP’s, Lawyers, Government agencies and the Family Court. Referrals are usually requested to address a variety of psychological issues including confidence, self-esteem, anxiety, worry, and life choices, such as finding purpose and direction.
Aside from my individual and family clients, I have also provided psychological assistance to many private and public companies including government agencies and departments. This has also included preparing and delivering many seminars and communication and change management courses for industry and educational institutions.
