Hana Rose

Kia ora, I'm Hana 🌸

I'm a Registered Social Worker, Clinical Supervisor, and Therapeutic Practitioner with over eight years of experience supporting children, young people, adults, whānau, and professionals across statutory, therapeutic, leadership, and private practice settings.

Throughout my career I have worked as a Care and Protection Social Worker, Supervisor, Senior Practitioner, Acting Practice Leader, Acting Site Manager, Clinical Team Leader, and now Director of HanaRose Therapy. Alongside this, I have been providing external professional supervision to social workers, counsellors, psychologists, allied health professionals, students, and emerging leaders.

I am passionate about helping people grow into the professionals they want to be. Whether you're a student finding your feet, a new graduate navigating imposter syndrome, an experienced practitioner carrying the weight of complex work, or a leader supporting others, I aim to provide a supervision space where you feel genuinely supported, heard, challenged, and encouraged.

I also identify as neurodivergent myself (or as I often jokingly describe it, "neurospicy" 🌶️). This personal experience, alongside my professional work with neurodivergent children, young people, and adults, has strengthened my understanding of masking, burnout, sensory overwhelm, executive functioning challenges, and the importance of creating spaces where people can show up authentically. You won't need to explain or justify your brain to me.

My practice is grounded in trauma-informed, strengths-based, and culturally responsive approaches and guided by the values of manaakitanga, whanaungatanga, and kotahitanga. At the heart of my work is a simple belief: when practitioners feel supported, connected, and empowered, they are better able to support the people they serve.

Outside of work, you'll often find me with my dogs, planning my next adventure, collecting far too many notebooks, or creating resources through HanaRose Therapy. I believe professionalism and authenticity can exist side by side, and I bring both into my supervision relationships.
