Ko Suzanne Cocker ahau

I have been a Social Worker for over 16 years and held roles in addictions, family conflict and child consultancy, youth health services, Social Work education and held management and professional leadership roles in tertiary health services. I have worked both in kaupapa Māori and mainstream organisations and has been fortunate to practice Social Work in Aotearoa, Australia and the United Kingdom.

I am passionate about utilising my skills and experience to support whaiora and professionals to be the very best version of themselves. It’s about the relationship curated between people. Relationships underpin the weaving of shared experiences, reciprocal learning, celebration of strengths and opportunities for growth. I am keen to work alongside whaiora to support their goals to fruition.
