Peter (He/him)

What is a fun fact about you?

If you had to introduce yourself in one paragraph, what would you say?
Kia ora, my name is Peter, and I have spent most of my life living here in Te Whanganui a Tara. I have experience working as a counsellor in both secondary school and university settings, and I am particularly passionate about working with taiohi. I recently completed a Master of Counselling at the University of Waikato, with a focus on Narrative Therapy. A highlight of the degree was integrating music therapy into my practice, which drew on my undergraduate degree in music. Outside of counselling, I have a long-standing interest in meditation, and I love spending time in nature with my partner.
