My Vision
I hold space for individuals and couples for their healing, growth, and evolution. With 30 years of psychotherapy experience, I have an eclectic bag of tricks and can find what suits to different needs. Having been in a long term relationship myself for 40 years, I find couples work especially rewarding.
I am currently in the process of setting up a Parent Training and Support Group and offer healing of childhood wounds from original family settings in order to best attune to your children. Watch this space.
My Experience and Tool Box
After 25 years of practice as a Psychodramatist, 10 years as a DBT practitioner and Sex Therapist with a familiarity in Imago Therapy & Couples Counselling, I have recently been exploring the Power of Conscious Feelings and the power of transforming the shadow side of the Human Being.
This path has opened up many doorways for my growth and expanded my world view which has catapulted me out of my old life into something completely new.
Towards Radical Respnsibility
My invitation to a radically responsible context was through a 4 day training called Expand the Box. It gave me a powerful new outlook on life, relationships and everything else. It drew from a sophisticated mix of spirituality and psychology to create a path towards a high level of adult functioning which is so needed in the world we are living in.
What I am learning in this wide field has given extra power to my work and is transforming my life and relationship into something extraordinary.
It has introduced me to the power of Conscious feelings, making the Unconscious Conscious and highlighting the necessity to join with others to create a new culture, a new way of being with each other and the earth where we can all have a chance to thrive.
Couples Counselling
& Coaching
My skills and experience have enabled me assist clients in the most intimate areas of their lives. I have developed an effective approach to training couples in communication, at the same time recognising and healing the deep wounding that is carried from the past which interferes with everyday functioning.
Psychodrama
Psychodrama gives me the ability to walk with my clients into unknown areas and stay by their side until they reach their destination. It has involved training in spontaneity and creativity and rather than being a talking therapy, is an experiential therapy which involves the body, mind, heart and soul.
Dialectical Behaviour
Therapy
DBT began to show me the power of recognising feelings as a driver of behaviours. Also the importance of developing the skills
for interpersonal communication.It matches my buddhist practice of mindfulness and being exquisitely attuned to the present moment. Plus some very practical skills in reducing high levels of distress, regulating emotions, practicing mindfulness and interpersonal communication.
Communication
I have developed a communication style for couples that combines aspects of non violent communication and Imago therapy type listening .
This method creates safety and harmony in your relationship and ensures that each person is heard and respected even if there is conflict, disagreement and difficulties.
BA Psych
A BA Psych through Massey University gave me a wonderful opportunity to study Maori centred healing and as a long time student of Te Reo me Ōna Tikanga (the maori language and practices) this bicultural approach has always been of great importance to me.
Emotional Healing
As a child growing up, you will have experienced many feelings. Feelings of joy and happiness, sadness, anger and fear to name a few. If there was no-one in your world who was attuned to you enough to help you integrate these feelings, they become stuck in your psyche and you will experience reactive emotions in a similar way to a war veteran might experience post traumatic stress when they hear the trigger of a loud noise, reminding them of a bomb going off.
Emotional healing processes assists you to find where these trigger points are and express these incomplete emotions while exploring the decision you made early in you life that shape your identity and your destiny.

Read to some of my Clients and Collaborators
Words are too linear to describe this experience. It has reconnected my mind, body and soul that trauma has ripped apart. I am so grateful I got the opportunity to meet everyone and heal together. To say it's life changing is very understated. All I can say is a very heartfelt.
ODETTE, JUNE 2023
Plagued with anxiety and trepidation I embarked on my journey with psychodrama with Renee. Within the first hour my emotions and overwhelm got the better of me. I soon realised that the other 8 participants were all feeling the same as I. What unfolded in the 3 days was beyond my expectations. For the first time I I started to relinquish my anxiety/fear of trust, vulnerability and pain. The well suppressed pain poured forth in waves, to later find a deep liberation within myself. Barriers soon dissipated which no longer served the purpose for what my soul was longing.
I cannot express enough the transformation ‘Living Fully’ has given me. Integration of psychodrama unfolded beautifully in the aftermath of healing. In a week after the ‘Living Fully Retreat’ I went into a cafe/art gallery where I was greeted by the artist with a welcoming smile, we briefly talked of his journey into his art life. I meandered around and came to another space filled with more art. Before I took a step into this room I felt my body beginning to tingle, my hands burned and the tingling overwhelming. The artist who was in the room was observing me, as I was telling him what I was experiencing. Come in he said. I stepped into the room, out of no-where the emotions came, my chest tightened, it was hard to breathe but I couldn’t ignore the heat I could feel within my heart area, it circulated round, I was crying uncontrollably.
If you’re reading this, I assure you of the blessings that will envelop you, the blessing of yourself and to know that you deserve beauty and peace in your life. Step forth, allow yourself to feel. A moment in time that will not be forgotten. You’ll be supported by extrodinary women. I will be forever grateful to Renee, the work you do and the space you hold for those on this path is immense. I thank you.
