Our indigenous world view, kinship and more practices - should be recognised in therapy

As an Indigenous therapist with deep ties to my Aboriginal extended family, I embody a unique perspective that enriches my practice. My understanding of women's business and customs fosters a strong sense of trust and connection, allowing for a shared understanding that is essential in the therapeutic journey. Embracing cultural traditions and values, I offer a safe and inclusive space where individuals can explore their emotions and experiences with authenticity. I am committed to honouring Indigenous ways of knowing and being, ensuring that every session is grounded in respect, empathy, and a profound appreciation for the richness of our cultural heritage. Together, we can navigate the complexities of life while celebrating and honouring our shared identities.

Shared Stories and Understanding

A safe and nurturing space, led by an aware and compassionate therapist, plays a vital role in addressing the multifaceted issues that women experience within Māori culture, all while viewed through a rich third-generation lens. As I embark on the journey of discovering my hidden heritage and simultaneously support my Aboriginal spouse, I find that trust and empathy significantly enhance our shared path. An understanding therapist facilitates a sensitive and open dialogue that not only validates your experiences but also places them within broader societal contexts. Rest assured, confidentiality and ethics are strictly upheld, guaranteeing a consistently high quality of care. Your therapist will gently guide you in exploring your personal issues, fostering a deep sense of awareness and understanding in a space that genuinely values and respects your unique identity.
