MoeMoea : Maori Counselling Journeys

This book is for: Māori  practitioners and other practitioners supporting whanau.

This book is about: Employing whakaaro Māori (Māori knowledge) in counselling practice with whanau; Learning and teaching mana-enhancing counselling practice.

There are no competing books on the market today, and this is a practical and accessible resource for all those engaged in counsellor education, practising counsellors, as well as pastoral caregivers and clergy, social and community workers, mental health workers, teachers in guidance-related roles in school, and counsellors within voluntary organisations.

Māori perspectives are incorporated into the counselling process and these give shape to the therapeutic encounter as an aid to promote understanding. The shift away from a deficit approach is important in this book its orientation is strengths-based and the approach in the model is a team approach.

The broad goal is to foster Māori-centred practice as a distinctive approach to help whanau realise their potential.
