Meet Anna

Growing up in New Zealand within a large family, I was fortunate enough to spend most of my childhood outside at the beach, on the farm, or simply playing in the houses and backyards of my many cousins. I loved sliding down sand dunes with my brother, collecting shells with my aunties, making forts with my cousins and going for walks in the bush with my parents and our dog. 

 

Like most families, we experienced good times and difficult times. Births, deaths, marriages, separations, blending of families, adoptions, moving houses and countries, illness and conflict all touched us and became threads in our interwoven lives. What stands out for me though, when I look back at my childhood as a whole, are those simple moments amongst the madness, whipping cream for apple crumble together after dinner or laughing as we played spotlight in the long grass. I believe whole-heartedly that some of the best opportunities for learning, healing, celebration and growth are experienced in environments where we can be ourselves and share meaningful experiences and conversations.

​

This belief has shaped the way I work with children, couples and families.

 

I have worked with children and the people who care for them including parents and foster, kinship and permanent carers over the last decade. I enjoy working with children, young people and adults of all ages, supporting people to feel connected, cared for and understood.
