My name is Marjan Askarian-Amiri, I am originally from Iran and moved to New Zealand in 1994. I lived in Dunedin for more that 10 years and after completing my PhD at the University of Otago moved to Germany and then Australia before coming to Auckland. Currently, I am working as registered counsellor, provide support for individual, couple and family and based in Auckland.
I am prepared to support you on your challenging journey. I am a client-centred counsellor with extensive experience in trauma, grief, couple counselling, depression and anxiety. My life and work experiences in New Zealand, the Middle East, Europe, and Australia have made me culturally competent when working with clients from diverse backgrounds. I also have significant experience working with refugees and migrants who moved to New Zealand from different parts of world. I am fluent in speaking Farsi/Persian.
