Raewyn is in her final year of study towards a Bachelor of Counselling. She has an interest in people’s stories and works within a person-centred, narrative therapy approach, which honours a person’s story, and she partners with them to work on the next steps in their life journey. She has a heart for listening to the stories of those not usually heard – children, older adults, rainbow community members, and the disabled. She has worked with children and adults in previous practicum experiences, with some experience of working with the families of the children. Some of the areas she has worked in are grief, self-esteem, self-harm, relationship issues with family and/or friends, separation of parents, blended families, and anger issues. She is looking forward to extending her practice further by working with couples.

 

Outside of counselling, Raewyn enjoys spending time with friends and family, walking along the Petone foreshore (or anywhere else where there’s a sea or river), playing the guitar (not well!), and reading.
