Whakaora's innovative psychological therapy programme is dedicated to making high-quality EMDR therapy accessible across the motu. We offer comprehensive EMDR therapy to clients throughout New Zealand, providing a supportive and effective path to healing. Our services also extend to workplaces, delivering expert care following critical incidents, and we proudly support clients with ACC Sensitive Claims.

 

For Clients

Our mission is to improve access to EMDR therapy, helping people recover from trauma efficiently and effectively. Led by experienced clinical psychologists, Whakaora follows an evidence-based group therapy model. We believe in the power of collective healing—whiria te tāngata, weaving people together through shared experience and support.

 

For Employers

Whakaora offers a clinically validated programme designed to support employee mental health with real, effective therapy. Our data-backed approach includes pre-, mid-, and post-treatment assessments, ensuring transparency and measurable outcomes. With flexible delivery—both in-person and online—we provide nationwide coverage and rapid response to crisis events, helping to prevent the development of posttraumatic symptoms.

 

For Our Communities

We are committed to helping Kiwis recover from major events that have impacted Aotearoa. Whakaora proudly supports Trauma Aid Aotearoa, working to bring EMDR therapy to those who need it most.
