Kia Ora! My name is Tessa Parker. I’m an Experienced psychologist with a background in working with children from 1 till 6 years in New Zealand, USA and Norway.
Education: Holds a Ph.D. in Child Psychology from the University of Auckland, New Zealand.
I have worked with families from diverse cultural backgrounds and with varying needs, and I understand the unique challenges that come with raising young children.
Approaches: Utilizes a variety of approaches to work with children and parents, including cognitive-behavioural therapy, play therapy, and parent-child interaction therapy. I believe in the importance of a child-centred approach, working collaboratively with parents to create individualized plans for their child's growth and development. Also, would like to emphasize the importance of a holistic approach, including physical, emotional, and social well-being.
In addition to my work with young children, I have conducted research on topics such as early childhood education and the benefits of play-based learning. I have also provided training to parents and early childhood educators on positive parenting techniques and the importance of early childhood development.
Overall, my experience and approach as a child psychologist in multiple countries have given me a unique perspective on the best practices for working with young children and their families. I am passionate about helping parents provide their children with a nurturing and supportive environment that promotes healthy development and lifelong well-being.
Yours, Tessa Parker
Child psychologist, New Zealand
