Welcome to Atawhai Counselling & Supervision. My name is Kyrin and I am born and bred right here in Aotearoa, I spent most of my younger years in Tauranga bought up in a bicultural whānau with my Māori Mum and Indian Dad. Today I live, love and work in Tāmaki-Makaurau (Auckland). I’m looking forward to meeting you.
About my Work
I am clinically and experientially trained. Having been in the social work industry for over 10 years I have a breadth and depth of experience. I work from a strength-based relational foundation. I work with my clients to find and build on the tools and resources that they already have in order to make change, utilising methods from motivational interviewing, narrative therapy and pūrākau. I am guided by indigenous models, theories and practices which are activated by the needs and wants of clients. I value kanohi ki te kanohi (face-to-face) and believe that when we connect face to face, we also connect heart to heart. I work with individuals, couples and families.
