Cardiac Psychology
The impact of a cardiac condition extends beyond the physical. The effects may be subtle and have a ripple effect on you and your relationships. Or the impact can be significant and impair various domains of your life. Not only is the person with the cardiac condition affected, but also those around them. Whether any of the following affect you, or someone you care about, it can be helpful to get support for your heart and mind.
Sudden cardiac event
Cardiac surgery or other cardiac treatments
Cardiac anxiety
Living with an ICD
Post-ICU delirium or trauma
Cardiac-related trauma including post-traumatic stress
Congenital cardiology
Cardiac inherited conditions
Needle, hospital or other medical phobias
Non-cardiac chest pain
Health Psychology
Health is not simply freedom from physical disease. As said by BKS Iyengar, “Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind, and spirit”. Modern life can be a kryptonite to such a state of harmony. It takes courage, and sometimes pure necessity, to take a step back to reflect on your choices and their impact on your wellbeing. Whether you are after a heart and mind WOF or seeking help with any of the following, a Health Psychologist could help.
Optimising wellbeing
Stress
Anxiety
Sleep problems
Health-related trauma
Adjustment to a health condition or medical treatment
Specific phobias

Professional Supervision
For professionals working in healthcare and other fields
Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi Engari, he toa takitini
My successes are not mine alone, they are ours – the greatest successes we will have are from working together.
Trust, safety, and a good quality relationship are key to effective supervision. I offer a strengths-based approach to supervision with a focus on promoting wellbeing and an ethically sound practice. My aim is to create a safe and collaborative space for self-reflection, restoration, and professional growth.
For therapy or professional supervision to be beneficial, it’s important to find the right-fit for you. For more information get in touch.
