Christchurch Psychologist for Relationships, Stress, Depression, Anxiety, and Eating Disorders

My PhD research about relationships was published in the world’s premier social psychology journal (Journal of Personality and Social Psychology) in 2007.

I write a blog that includes lots of practical tips about how to increase your personal and/or relationship happiness Read my Blog.

I have a private practice. I see clients in person in Christchurch, New Zealand (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Christchurch) and people who live in other areas of New Zealand via Skype (live video) and phone.

I blend multiple different types of therapies according to your preferences, including techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Positive Psychology, Mindfulness, and Self-Compassion.

I’m a science geek, I know lots about the research literature (which you’ll see from my blog).

I’ll help you understand yourself better, reduce your problems, and help you find the tools and information that will help you have more self-acceptance and enable you to live a rich, meaningful and happy life. I tend to work with people who are self-motivated.
