Tēnā koe e hoa,
I identify as tangata tiriti, with my ancestors emigrating from Britain via South Africa to Aotearoa before I was born. Between us, my partner and I have six adult children, with a growing number of mokopuna.
Having been a registered nurse working in mental health for over 25 years, I was introduced to IFS by a clinical supervisor. Experiencing this wonderfully compassionate modality for myself has seen me evolve my career into counselling. I am a certified IFS practitioner, have a counselling practice, and am completing my Masters in Counselling degree in 2024.
I especially resonate with the holistic approach of IFS and its embracing of taha wairua/spiritual wellbeing, taha hinengaro/mental and emotional wellbeing, taha tinana/physical wellbeing and taha whānau/family and social wellbeing. Working humbly with diversity is of further interest to me, especially further to being diagnosed with ADHD in 2022.
