  • Anne Honey-Monk | Ara Taiohi

    < Back Anne Honey-Monk Hi there, my name is Anne i am on level 49 in the game of life. I have one husband, two adult children and two very precious beautiful mokopuna. I have an "old McDonald type home life which includes Teddy the Border Collie, his two fur cat sisters Incah and Thai, Pigs along with piglets, too many chickens to count and the good old sheep n lambs. Life is fairly diverse to say the least. Finding my own place in a complicated world has gifted me the ability to see the potential of growth we all have within. Life can be a rollercoaster and having the ability to know how to get on and off the platform is crucial in self-care. I absolutely love working alongside people in their journey of self-awareness, acceptance and finding what matters in their life. I entered into the helping profession from a relatively young level of life approx. level 23 where i assisted youth at risk. From there I grew as a Tautoko Whanau worker which rolled into over a century of frontline child protection. Today at level 49 i am a qualified health improvement practitioner which I absolutely love every day. Through my journey of getting here i have learnt many lessons in the helping profession with the number one being self-care - this is what i promote in my supervision practice. My Approach External supervision offers a valuable opportunity to reflect critically on your practice, gain new perspectives, and enhance your professional development, ultimately improving service delivery and self-care. It may aid you in developing leadership skills with a focus of self-awareness, and confidence, and encourages reflective practice and continuous learning. As I am trained in functional acceptance, commitment therapy (FACT) a focus I bring into my external supervision sessions is self-acceptance and commitment. In this space I, as a supervisor would walk beside you through your critical reflection as this would be your journey - You are the professional in your life including your practice I am just there to provide gentle guidance.

E mihi ana ki a koutou katoa. My Approach Supervision provides a dedicated space for professionals to engage in facilitated, in-depth reflection on their practise, their working relationships, and the many components that impact their professional life. At the heart of good Supervision is the relationship between the supervisor and supervisee. My Professional Supervision practise is based on building collaborative relationships with the professionals I work with. Supervision can offer a new lens on a situation, support the supervisee to navigate challenging issues, find alternate solutions, and affirm and celebrate success. My role is to holistically support kaimahi to have ongoing clarity, development and wellbeing within the professional realm.

  • Tessa Aranga | Ara Taiohi

    < Back Tessa Aranga Mauri ora! Ko Tessa Aranga ahau. Ko Ngāi Tūhoe me Ngāpuhi ngā iwi. I am a registered social worker with 12 years’ experience across statutory and community organisations, which has enabled me to develop a strong, adaptable practice grounded in the core competencies of the Aotearoa New Zealand Association of Social Workers (ANZASW). My mahi is guided by a commitment to ethical, accountable, and reflective practice, with a focus on upholding the mana, dignity, and self-determination of the whānau I serve. Since 2023, I have been providing professional and cultural supervision, where I support practitioners to strengthen their critical reflection, professional judgement, and culturally responsive practice. I have a particular passion for supporting practitioners working alongside Māori whānau. I am committed to strengthening culturally grounded practice by supporting kaimahi to uphold Te Tiriti o Waitangi in their mahi, engage in meaningful partnerships, and work in ways that are mana-enhancing and responsive to the aspirations of whānau Māori. I provide dedicated tautoko for those seeking to build their cultural capability, confidence, and understanding, ensuring their practice is both ethically sound and culturally safe. I believe that strong, reflective supervision is essential in sustaining kaimahi to do this important mahi well, particularly when working with whānau experiencing vulnerability, and I am dedicated to walking alongside practitioners as they grow and thrive in their practice. My Approach My supervision approach is grounded in Te Ao Māori, centering mātauranga Māori and holistic frameworks to guide practice. I integrate Te Whare Tapa Whā to support the overall hauora of kaimahi, recognising the interconnectedness of wairua, hinengaro, tinana, and whānau. This enables practitioners to deepen their self-awareness, resilience, and capacity to work effectively in complex environments. I offer a safe and trusting supervision space where kaimahi can engage in honest reflection, challenge practice, and grow their confidence and competence in their practice.
