Ara Taiohi

I have my BA Psychology, Masters of Social Work Applied (honours) and my Diploma in Professional Coaching. I have worked extensively as a Social Worker, Counsellor and Trainer / Facilitator( including more recently writing and delivering training around trauma informed practice tools). Areas of expertise include working with victims and perpetrators of sexual abuse and physical violence, grief and loss, trauma, and relationship counselling. I have worked extensively with children, youth, and whānau, and am passionate about taking a trauma-informed, holistic approach in all aspects of my work and supporting other professionals in their mahi. I provide online or face to face supervision (located in Tairawhiti).
