What to do while you are waiting for an appointment

I work with children and their whānau who are experiencing difficult feelings, behaviours or relationships

grief, loss, separation and trauma
strong willed children
anxiety, sadness, mood and depression-like symptoms
difficult relationships with peers, parents and siblings
emotionally-based school refusal
separation anxiety and sleeping

I am committed to Te Titiri o Waitangi and Māori as tangata whenua. I work ethically and confidentially and I welcome all people including those who identify as neurodiverse, rainbow, twice-exceptional, Māori and Tauiwi.
