Brigette Hohepa, Counsellor
Kia ora tātoa- Ko Panekire te maunga, ko Waikere te awa, nō te Uruwera ahau, ko Hohepa tōku whānau, ko Brigette tōku ingoa.
I hold a Bachelor of Counselling degree through Bethlehem Tertiary Institute.
I have trained in Narrative Therapy, Client Centred Therapy, IDT (Interactive Drawing Therapy) and CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy). I also use Systemic Practice and a strengths-based Family and Whanau Practice. I am currently working on IFS (Internal Family Systems therapy), I am also informed in the Te Whare Tapa Whā model of working. My approach to counselling is holistic/eclectic. Some of the common issues included but not limited in my therapy are: Anger management, anxiety disorders, dependency and addiction, marriage and relationship, spiritual matters, employment stress, maternal mental health, trauma recovery, loss, grief, and bereavement. All counselling is offered in a non-judgmental and confidential environment. Referrals can be made directly by appointment.
