Tony Burne

I have worked in social services for over 20yrs. I have been involved with complex mental health, addictions, co-existing problems, high risk family harm and management of community agencies and teams. I am well skilled with difficulties that require a well-balanced approach. I have worked with many ethnicities, ages & stages, victims and perpetrators of violence. I am non-judgmental, because I sincerely believe people want to have a better happy life. It just sometimes, we don’t know how to. I use several approaches to suit who I’m working with. I am well-grounded with cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing and Te Whare Tapa Wha. I am also an artist and musician I believe in a holistic approach, which covers all aspects of your life.
