Louise Belsher
President DNANZ. Chairperson Tauhara Centre Trust. Chairperson Painga Trust. Mediator LEADR, Family Therapist and Counsellor MNZCA, Post. Grad. Dip. SSS I met Margaret Bowater over 20 years ago when I trained as a family therapist and counsellor. It was attracted to the study of Dreams and trained under Margaret Bowater’s tutelage. Over the years this has become an area I have continued to develop and have integrated into my professional practice. This is an ongoing and an ever growing area of exploration that is continuing to become integrated into therapeutic practice both in New Zealand and Internationally and I am honoured to be part of this. |
