“Counselling is a two-way relationship… My years of counselling teenagers in high schools led me to work in many different modes, and often with families/whanau. I now enjoy my Sensitive Claims work with [mainly] adult women and feel very privileged to share in their healing process… I am happy to share my Raranga (flax weaving) knowledge as another therapeutic tool.”
Debbie is a Counsellor and has been practising for over thirty years. She has had very diverse training – a Master’s degree in Counselling from Auckland University, followed by many years of practice.
Debbie has worked with teenagers and their whanau/families. For the last four years, she has worked with:
- Trauma
- Grief
- Anxiety
- Mindfulness and associated therapy
Debbie has an understanding of Te Reo Māori and a little French and German and is comfortable working with European, Māori and Pasifika cultures. She is happy to work with anyone who feels comfortable when meeting her.
