Sharla Watene

I carry a unique perspective into the field of counselling and consulting here in Aotearoa, because of my training in systems theory. This is something that’s not often highlighted in New Zealand. But it’s something that can help bring sustainable and supported change into your life and your company.

 

I truly love being able to see the change my clients experience as a response to gaining greater insight and coping strategies. That’s why, after 15 years, I still love what I do!

 

Life constantly provides us with opportunities to take risks. It allows us the vulnerability to change and grow from another’s perspective. My aim is to help you and your whanāu make sustainable changes in your life in a holistic and mindful way.

 

I hold a Bachelors Degree in Child Development, a Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, and Post-Graduate Diploma Certificate in Drug and Alcohol Counselling. I am currently registered with NZAC #98963. I use my 15+ years of experience to create a counselling environment that allows my clients to learn, develop insight, and grow towards a sustainable, supported change that empowers them to live the life they choose.
