TESTIMONIALS

"I have been fortunate enough to have had Kandas as a supervisor and I absolutely value her guidance, support, supervision and encouragement in my line of work. I really appreciated how she would listen and be able to give me coping techniques, and at times push me out of my comfort zone for my own benefit and growth. She is not somebody that just tells you what you want to hear but will tell you what you need to hear in a very heartfelt delivery. Kandas is somebody who really cares about you and helping you to grow in your mahi, situation or problem you may be facing. “I believe I have come a long way in my career in such a short time; my confidence in my role from when I first started is unbelievable and I truly believe that supervision with this amazing lady has had a huge impact, she is very empowering. I am truly thankful to have had Kandas as a Supervisor. “Nga Mihi.”

“I didn’t ever think I needed supervision, until I met Kandas, who made me wonder why I had never done it before. She allows you the space to be you, without reservation and without judgement. She is a safe place for me to express myself, and that is very important to me. My organisation wanted my colleagues and I to go with someone that was Māori, because we are Māori and work from a Māori value base. Kandas said that as a Pākehā, she couldn’t provide cultural (Māori) supervision. Although this was never an issue for me, Kandas has always incorporated elements of Māoritanga seamlessly into each session.”

“I have been working with Kandas for around 5 months now for work supervision. Kandas is approachable and is very competent in dealing with work related situations and coaching me to find a solution to the problem. We also spend time using reflection techniques that help me immensely and challenge my thought processes. I would recommend Kandas to anyone who appreciates an approach that is driven by the client and not their own personal beliefs.”
