Find a Provider

Kia ora.  My name is Kathy Bennett.   I am from Tāmaki Makaurau.  I work at CARE Waitakere Trust in Te Atatu Peninsula.  I also am an online provider.  I work Monday to Thursday from 9 to 3 p.m.

I am a counsellor with a Postgrad Diploma in Trauma and Violence Studies.  I have ten years’ experience in working with grief, and with people bereaved by suicide.  During the time, I have facilitated over 50 Seasons for Growth groups in schools throughout Auckland.  Seasons is a peer support programme for young people exploring change, loss and grief.  I have a lot of experience of working with teenagers and young adults, as well as older clients. 

I use narrative and strength-based approaches in my work, and support a collaborative relationship that allows a person a safe non-judgmental space to explore their story and process their feelings and experience at their own pace.
