Sumita Maan

I am Dapaanz registered Drug and Alcohol clinician and accredited clinical supervisor.. I have been working in mental health and addiction sector since 2012 in New Zealand and prior to that I have worked as registered pharmacist for nearly eight years in my home country . During our sessions, I am committed to be fully present and authentic with you so as to create a safe and caring environment where you feel “seen and heard”. This doesn’t mean that I will not tell you the truth or call you out when needed. It is my job to tell you the truth and to turn your attention to all the behaviors that are dysfunctional and limiting. While I am trained in a variety of therapeutic tools and techniques, in our sessions I will intuitively use what is the most appropriate based on your needs. By listening and checking in with you, we will discover together what works better with your own pace and style. I always believe there is nothing wrong to ask for help if not met anyone you feel safe to talk with. If I feel at any point you need someone else or I might not be the right therapist for you I will advise you or refer you to suitable agency after getting your approval. I also provide counselling sessions in Hindi and Punjabi . Feel free to call to discuss if you can have free sessions through EAP.
