Our Pledge

At Whakaora Therapy, we foster a nurturing environment where children, teenagers and adults can explore their emotions and experiences through specialised art therapy sessions. Our tailored services are dedicated to promoting emotional well-being and personal development.
Tailored Healing
Customized Therapy
Every therapy session at Whakaora Therapy is uniquely crafted to meet the specific needs and strengths of each young individual. We focus on nurturing creativity, resilience, and positive self-expression.
With over 20 years of experience supporting teens and adults, I combine my love for the arts with talk to create a unique, practical approach. My strong foundation in trauma-informed therapy guarantees that each individual receives compassionate care. I am dedicated to continuous learning and growth and offer the best support possible. I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family.
During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement afterwards.
No two individuals share the same experiences, and no two solutions are identical. As you openly share your unique story, personal background, and aspirations for the future, we will delve deep to uncover the insights needed for transformative change.
Together, through the expressive medium of Art Therapy, we can bring your vision to life!
