Let's Begin the Conversation

Hi, I’m Rochelle. I am a registered clinician with DAPAANZ and have over seven years of experience working in mental health and addiction services.

​

I also have five years of experience working within a Māori kaupapa service, supporting tamariki, rangatahi, and adults. This has shaped my practice to be culturally responsive, holistic, and grounded in respect, dignity, and partnership.

​

I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Health Science (endorsed in Addiction) and a Level 7 qualification in Applied Counselling, specialising in Mental Health and Addiction.

​

My practice is trauma-informed and client-centred, with a focus on creating a safe, supportive space for change, healing, and personal growth.

​

I am also an approved provider for NZTA Section 65 assessments, supporting applications for early removal of alcohol interlock requirements and indefinite disqualification.

​
