Hi, my name is Sita Bakker, and I am the Head of the Student Support Services at Massey High School. 

I am also a counsellor and I am member of NZAC and Teacher Council. I live with my 18-year-old son. 

I was born in India and lived in The Netherlands for 10 Years prior to immigrating to New Zealand. 

I am a professional Narrative Therapist, practising with empathy and understanding. I take a positive approach in a caring and non-judgmental space. 

My passion is to work with young people who surprise me in so many ways, so I appreciate and enjoy their uniqueness, along with their special abilities and talents. Through Narrative Therapy, I gently explore their lives by listening to their stories, empathizing and build courage to overcome their problems and barriers. I am guided and informed by NZAC’s Code of Ethics and treat all clients with respect and dignity, carefully considering each situation ethically and morally. 

My experience includes but not limited to working with families, Stress, Depression, Anxiety, Self-harm.
