Alex

I grew up in Te-Whanganui-a-Tara and live here now with my wife and cat. I identify as queer and use she/her pronouns. My foundation is firmly grounded in the understanding that mental health is intricately interwoven with social justice.

In my spare time I love to cook, spend time with my friends and watch lots of TV. 

My approach

I take a narrative-informed approach to my work. This means that I believe that dominant cultural stories, practices and labels shape our lives and affect how we see ourselves and how we interact with others. Through our work together, we will explore these dominant stories to find new and preferred ways of experiencing yourself.
