Jo Watt

I whakapapa to England where three of my grandparents immigrated from. I was born into a farming community and mihi to Maungatautari and the Waikato River. I am a daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother and friend.

I am also a Psychologist and I find joy in helping people to gain agency over the problems or troubles in their life. Most of my work is in schools where you will often find me using narrative therapy with students. I also use ACT therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), and psycho-education when working alongside people.

When I’m not spending time with people you may find me reading, gardening, or noticing things that give rise to awe.
