It’s a grounded, relational space to reconnect with yourself — no wank, no one-size-fits-all advice. This work blends intuitive coaching, spiritual psychology, and nearly a decade of experience supporting people through change, grief, and growth. It’s not therapy; though I bring some skills from my counselling background, this is a separate offering rooted in mentorship, reflection, and deep, authentic kōrero (discussion).

This isn’t traditional talk therapy. Counselling often focuses on a form of clinical ‘presentation’ and treatment, while intuitive mental health coaching is about mentorship, reflection, and practical wisdom to help you move forward.

If you’re dealing with an untreated mental health condition, crisis, or need clinical support, it’s a good idea to consult with your GP about which path is best for you. Coaching is a different, complementary approach rooted in holistic support.

No. What I offer here is distinct from therapy: it’s mentorship, mutuality, and process-orient guidance. Drawing on nearly a decade in mental health - from clinical counselling to crisis support work - I move beyond the formal, top-down structure of traditional talk therapy. I respect counselling deeply, but this is a different relationship entirely. It leans into authenticity, shared humanity, and practical support.

My approach is grounded in real talk, deep listening, and genuine connection. Whether we meet online or at my Kingsbury support space, I aim to honour your story from our very first session. For online calls, find yourself a cozy corner - a cuppa and a pet are always welcome. My work blends nearly a decade of mental health experience with intuitive insight and evidence-informed practices, including process-oriented psychology, motivational interviewing, and narrative reflection. Rest assured, you will feel held and supported in every session.

Most of the people I work with are First Nations, Pasifika, or people of colour — it’s a big part of why I do this work. I’ve got close family who are Pasifika from Aotearoa NZ, and my son is biracial, so showing up as an active white ally matters to me deeply. I lean on anti-racist approaches like Ibram X. Kendi’s work, training through HUE – Colour the Conversation, and I’m always trying to learn more. This space is built on accountability, not perfection. You won’t be expected to do the emotional labour, and I welcome being called in or challenged. As a gay woman, I also bring lived experience around challenges of identity and belonging.

Yes — what you share in 1:1 coaching stays between us, unless there’s a serious risk of harm to you, someone else, or a child. I’m not a crisis service, and in rare cases of imminent risk, I may need to contact emergency services. Sessions are held on secure, encrypted platforms like Zoom or Google Meet. I also use a private AI tool to help with note-taking — it’s not used to train AI. More on that here.

In group coaching, confidentiality is a shared agreement. I’ll explain the boundaries clearly, but I can’t guarantee what others choose to share stays private — so always go with what feels safe for you. Coaching can’t be offered while driving or operating a vehicle.
