Meet Tony
I'm a 56-year-old kiwi bloke, happily married for 20+ years.
I'm also a Dad to an Adult Daughter.
My interests include Cycling, Wine collecting and People.
I love the Waikato, and Hamilton has been my home for the last 10 years.
The Construction Industry was originally my profession, but after many years feeling unchallenged, I added to my Resume.
Around 1997, I began training in the area of Psychological well-being. (I wanted to know how I/We tick). I was encouraged to continue training more specifically in the area of Counselling and Psychotherapy. I completed my training as a Counsellor, and immediately after, continued training in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy.
Currently, I offer therapy from my Private Practice location. I absolutely love my work.
Due to related training, I can also provide Workplace Consultation, Public speaking and Bespoke Workshops.
All my work and approaches are relationally focused.
I also have extensive training in the area of trauma.
If any of these things interest you , I'd love to hear from you.

I think these things matter ...

I think it is very important for a Client to be able to track what is happening in therapy. My approach includes explaining why I suggest ideas or ask questions, in the hope that a client doesn't leave a session with ' I don't know what that was'. I encourage client's to ask questions.
-
Fun in Therapy can be possible at times and laughter is welcomed, as much as tears. I approach my practice with a real-world attitude, underpinned by solid training and theory.
-
Personal and Professional development and Supervision are foundational and obligatory for any practicing Therapist. I attend all of these regularly. I am also a member of two related organisation's Nationally and Internationally.
