Expirience
I have been in private practice since 2009. I came to New Zealand in 2013; before that, in Europe, I was (and I am) a registered psychotherapist working with individuals, couples, and families using the systemic family approach.
I have rich experience in perinatal counselling and therapy for couples with relationship issues, broader family issues, difficult decisions and anxiety around pregnancy, the transition to parenthood, depression, antenatal and postnatal distress, parent-infant relationship issues, career and motherhood (or returning to work after the birth of a baby). I work with perinatal grief and loss (miscarriage, stillbirth loss of a baby) and post-abortion syndrome. Also, I worked with women and couples who struggle with infertility and provided psychological support of ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology). See more...
Group facilitation and training, both in a comfortable environment and online, have been and still are a big part of my practice. I created several courses for women, couples, families, and mental health professionals. See more.
​
I am also certified in professional supervision and work with professionals from various areas. I offer supervision to my colleagues and students in the field of psychology. See more.
​
I am a contracted counsellor with WINZ, EAP, Maata Waka, and Cancer Society.
​
To date (January 2025), I have offered more than 19,200 hours of individual and group work.
