How to Refer

How to Refer

Clients can self-refer and privately pay for the service.  I am a contracted consultant affiliated with Sex Therapy New Zealand.  Please make a booking directly here and ensure you utilise the 10-minute meet and greet service if you are unsure what appointment type to book.

I accept referrals from all providers for privately paying clients via email.  Please ensure your client is aware of the referral and you have full consent before referring.  Please include the client's name, contact details and a brief reason for referral information.  I will acknowledge your referral and make contact with the client.

I provide therapy online and can meet with clients anywhere online in Aotearoa/New Zealand provided they have internet, Zoom, headphones/microphone and video.  If a client needs support to set this up on their computer I am available for a free consult to complete this.

Funded Therapy for individuals and couples

Taranaki Primary Connections

If you are a Community Services Card holder you may be able to access therapy via Taranaki Primary Connections Primary Mental Health Services as I hold a contract with them.  Please contact your GP, LMC, or Rural Support Trust Coordinator for a referral.  Youth (10-19yrs) can be referred by GP, Public Health Nurse, School Guidance Counsellor, Youth Guarantee Coordinator, Taiohi Ora in Taranaki.

You are entitled to 4 funded sessions (or 8 funded sessions for couples) of 60-minute duration each session.  I will receive the referral from your GP etc and make direct contact with you.  These sessions are required to be completed within 12 weeks.  Following the completion of these funded sessions there is a stand down period of 6 months before being able to access this service again.  However, you can choose to continue privately funding sessions indefinitely.

ACC - Registered ACC Vendor

I am a registered Health Professional and registered ACC Vendor with ACC.  If you are an ACC Claimant and have a current ACC claim you may be able to access my services as an Occupational Therapist via ACC.  Please speak with you Case Coordinator.  However, please note I do not hold the ACC Sensitive Claims contract thus you will need to seek counsellng via a Counsellor for this.  Please contact me to discuss further.
