For Health Professionals

Methodology for Health Professionals
  • A unique and innovative digital way of working with words, images and feelings to access different parts of the psyche.
  • The digital screen enables Rangitahi to see themselves more objectively from new perspectives.
  • Uses right-brain tapping techniques to complement and extend the more common left-brain talking and cognitive processes.
  • A client-centred process of disclosure and discovery.
  • A process directed method that seeks to resolves issues.
How It Works
  • Through perception of self onto the digital screen, Rangitahi are able to reframe, normalise, modify and re-write their beliefs and scripts, in a SAFE and non-confrontational process.
  • Systematically alternates between left-brain and right-brain functions.
  • A Client-centred, Rangitahi-centrix, Culturally responsive, process directed therapy that allows the Rangitahi to attend to their ’issue’ whilst the counsellor operates from a more strategic and meta-level framework.
