About

In the course of my career, I have worked in health services (including adult mental health, child and family mental health, and child health and development), in a university counselling service, and as a university senior lecturer. In Auckland, I worked for some years at the former Auckland Family Counselling and Psychotherapy Centre Inc. (AFCP), where I was Head of Training, and in a group private practice with colleagues, moving to work in full-time solo practice from my current office in 2002.
