Faye Pouesi
Mātanga Oranga Kaiārahi Lead Therapist

“Tena Koe. I’m privileged to walk in two worlds. I’m Pākehā through my paternal lineage and I’m Māori (Ngāruahine) through my maternal lineage.”

Over the past 26 years, Faye has worked alongside individuals and whānau throughout Te Uru o Tāmaki Makaurau West Auckland and wider Auckland, as a counsellor and group facilitator specialising in complex historical trauma, including sexual abuse, intergenerational trauma, gang violence and domestic violence.

Faye’s holistic approach to restoration, training and experience forms the foundation of her work with individuals and whānau whose lives were/are enmeshed in gangs and intergenerational trauma and abuse. It’s this approach, coupled with her many years of counselling experience and expertise that has earned Faye a reputation as a counsellor who is able to both listen with empathy and impart wisdom with compassion.
