Alcohol, Drug and Gambling Counselling & Family Support – North Shore, Auckland

Who I Help
I work with individuals, couples, and families affected by alcohol use, substance use, gambling, and other process addictions (such as gaming, shopping, or pornography). Whether you’re personally struggling or supporting someone who is, you don’t have to navigate this alone.

How I Can Support You
• One-on-one counselling (in-person or online)
• Support for partners and families impacted by addiction
• Guidance with both substance and process addictions
• Support planning and facilitating interventions
• Practical tools to manage urges, improve communication, and regain control
• Support whether your goal is harm reduction or abstinence

About Me
With over 8 years’ experience in the addiction sector across support, counselling, and leadership roles, I bring both professional expertise and lived experience of addiction and recovery.

I understand how complex and personal this journey can be, and I offer a grounded, compassionate approach — helping you find strategies that genuinely work for your life.

My Approach
I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can speak openly and feel understood. Together, we’ll explore what’s been happening, identify patterns, and develop realistic, practical steps forward.

I draw on evidence-based approaches such as CBT, ACT, and Motivational Interviewing, while also focusing on your strengths and what matters most to you. My aim is to help you feel more in control, supported, and confident in creating meaningful, lasting change.
