Tui Solutions – Adolescence and Adult Transitioning

Sometimes people feel they may be a different gender to the one they were born with and may need a pathway to ‘transition’.

Therapy is the first step on this path.

Therapy can help you discover and explore your inner world, find confidence and ways to express yourself. This pathway may then lead to hormone treatment and gender reassignment surgery if desired.

Tui Solutions operates from the same premises as Bond Counselling and holds a contract from the Taranaki DHB to help people transition. You will need a referral from the Taranaki DHB to access funding. The referral will be from the Endocrinology Department, or Paediatrics, or Mental Health.

Tui Solutions practitioners are Kaye Kirkpatrick (Registered Psychologist), Patrick Coyle (Registered Psychologist) and Jane McPherson (Registered Clinical Social Worker).
