Teaching is the dream job of many caring and super smart people. Sometimes the work is incredibly stressful and the workload exhausting. A lot of teachers say that the system is very challenging to work within, but they keep going because they love the kids and love empowering them towards their potential and a great future.

Sometimes there are life challenges that are overwhelming and you need extra support to process emotions, events or grief. It can be hard to reach out for support because you are an incredibly competent person and manage classrooms full of kids every day. You might work with kids in disadvantaged areas or from complex family backgrounds, and caring so much might impact your wellbeing.

Taraka provides gentle, caring and creative support to process the challenges, big or small. Taraka is trauma informed and considers therapy more of a ‘companioning’ than a hierarchical relationship. Therapy time is your time and you are the expert in your life, so you will be setting the goals and tone of the therapy journey and have a support to assist you to the goal you wish to achieve.
