Therapeutic background

Sheree has an eclectic therapeutic background that includes diplomas in Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy and a diploma in Life Coaching.

She has undertaken tertiary studies and counselling training in multiple disciplines, and these are informed by an understanding of Te Whare Tapa Wha, Tikanga Tenei Mo Rohe and studies in the Treaty of Waitangi.

She has worked in the areas of family violence, addiction support, grief and loss, death and dying, chronic pain, school counseling, relationships and individual therapy.

Grace and Spirit

Sheree says her preferred method of working these days is Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy and it is the grace and spirit that can be released when working within the Hakomi method, that has enabled her to hold the challenges that can be found in the work.

Hakomi is a trauma-informed modality, and additional trauma training in the ISITTA model of trauma therapy has been undertaken. Sheree includes a strong understanding of the effects of inter-generational trauma in her work.

Supported by additional studies and training in models of holistic healing and Eastern spiritual traditions, Sheree is deeply moved by the work of Matt and Sarah Brown, authors of She is Not Your Rehab and and inspired by the work of Wiremu NiaNia, Alister Bush and David Epston.
