Dip in Mental Health, Dip in Life Coaching, Dip in Addiction Counselling, Dip in Clinical Hypnotherapy, Cert Supervision Full registration DAPAANZ accredited supervisor

I have accumulated over 20 years of experience in the field of social services, where I have dealt with a wide range of complex issues such as mental health, addictions, co-existing problems, high-risk family harm, and the management of community agencies and teams. My expertise lies in handling challenging situations that require a well-balanced approach. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with individuals from diverse backgrounds, including different ethnicities, age groups, and stages of life. This has exposed me to both victims and perpetrators of violence, allowing me to develop a non-judgmental perspective. I genuinely believe that people aspire to lead happier lives, but at times they lack the necessary guidance. To address this, I employ various therapeutic techniques tailored to the individual I am working with. I am well-versed in cognitive behavioural therapy, motivational interviewing, and Te Whare Tapa Wha. Additionally, I am also an artist and musician, which further influences my holistic approach to supporting individuals. As a full registered member of DAPAANZ and an accredited supervisor, I strictly adhere to their code of ethics.
