Kia Ora koutou,
I’m really thrilled to have joined the team at Travis Medical Centre. I trained as a doctor in London and did much of my post graduate and GP training in the north of England. I moved to New Zealand in 2018 with my whānau and we’ve never looked back.

I’m passionate about general practice and believe myself to be a true generalist. I enjoy getting to know multiple generations of the same family and feel truly privileged to be able to be involved in health care for people from birth until the end of life. I am passionate about working with more marginalised groups such as the LGBTQIA+ community.

Outside of work I enjoy CrossFit, family time and exploring our beautiful back yard.

Thanks!
Katey

I am really excited to have joined the wonderful team at Travis Medical Centre. As a Registered Social Worker my motivation and drive is to support and empower people of all ages and from all walks of life. We all have times in our lives when we need the support of others, whether that’s from our own whanau or from professionals, this is where social workers can step in and assist to enhance the wellbeing of those we work alongside.

I strongly believe you are the experts in your own life and I am here to walk alongside you to enhance mana and wellbeing. I bring my experience of working in the health system; older persons health; child protection; relationships; parenting; family harm; ACC sensitive claims; education in primary and high schools around healthy relationships and keeping safe. If you think you may need some social work support, talk with your GP or Nurse Practitioner and I would love to chat more with you to see how I can support you.

I am a compassionate, easy-going, non-judgmental and inclusive person with a sense of humour that allows my clients to feel accepted, understood and at ease to feel safe and heard, helping us build a trusting relationship. I embrace the concepts of tika and pono (doing what is right with integrity and honesty) in all areas of my life.

When I am not working I love to access the walks and bike tracks in the forest, enjoy being able to walk to the beach, spending time with my family, self-development, adult hip-hop (which although fun and I am still trying to master which gives my children a good opportunity to have a chuckle at my expense) and just enjoying the beauty of the outdoors. I am excited to be meeting my first grandchild who is due to make a grand entrance into the world next year.

I look forward to meeting you.
