Ma te rongo ka mohio, Ma te mohio ka marama, Ma te marama ka matau, Ka matau ka ora. Through resonance comes awareness, through awareness comes understanding, through understanding comes knowledge, through knowledge comes well being. | For me, this whakatauki is a good place to start when thinking about psychotherapy and it's impact. I believe that the more we can understand about ourselves, the more we can support and uplift our own well being. My belief is that psychotherapy is both a process and relationship which helps us to understand more about ourselves and how we interact with the world around us. You may have experienced an event that you are struggling with, or you may just not feel 'yourself'. My intention is that having psychotherapy kōrero with me will assist you to process and make sense of how you are feeling and how potential past experiences have impacted you.
