Bonnie Tainui
I have experience in family social work providing therapeutic intervention and support to children, young people and their families. I have worked for the Children’s Team/Oranga Tamariki as a Lead Professional providing advocacy and support to families.
I have experience working as a Health Navigator supporting clients to return to employment. I have experience in management and have been a Team Leader. I have worked within a university setting in a health promotion role. I have been a Field Work Educator and Supervisor for many Social Work students on their placements.
Recently I have started my own private practice where I am currently providing ACC ISSC Counselling and Social Work Support. I am also a New Zealand Registered Celebrant.
My supervision interests include working with team dynamics and managing complex situations, professional, career and self development. Managing work/life balance with a focus on self care. Culturally safe practice.
