Sharon Waples

Tēnā koe, ko Sharon ahau. My goal is to foster a safe and welcoming environment where you can feel at ease and develop trust. I have worked with children, young people, and families for the last 15 years in Schools, Universities, Community non-profit organizations, and Private Practice around the North and South Island. My approach is to provide an authentic non-judgemental, compassionate space for you to explore your experiences and feel heard and validated. My hope is to explore with you a deeper understanding of yourself, your values, and your aspirations for the future and find steps to move towards these. I believe that having a supportive space to process your experiences is essential for discovering that deeper understanding and your unique strengths, skills, and qualities. My therapeutic approach focuses on collaborating with you to navigate your experiences and help equip you with the tools needed to navigate life’s challenges.
