Victoria Broome

I am a counsellor and a Registered Social Worker with the Social Workers Registration Board and a member of Aotearoa NZ Association of Social Workers ANZASW. 

I have worked across most areas of Specialist Mental Health and Older Persons Health -general medical and mental health. Most recently I worked in primary care mental health across 4 medical practices over 10 years and greatly enjoyed the diverse range of patients I was privileged to work with. 

 I am experienced in a range of modalities

·      ACT – Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with a focus on grief and trauma,

·      Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction 

·      Use a Strengths Based approach

·      I have trained in the Meihana Model and Hui Process which places whanau as a key element for change using the metaphor of 5 cross bars of waka hourua ( double hulled canoe ) to connect the individual and their whanau as they navigate across the ocean towards health.  

·      I work with individuals aged 18 and up.

·      I am ACC registered

I work with people struggling with anxiety and or mood related issues and with those facing age related issues of their own or of a partner or family member and with people living with a chronic health condition or experiencing grief/trauma and struggling with a life transition.  I aim to create a safe welcoming space that encourages working collaboratively towards creating the change you want in your life.
