Tika Bell

Bachelor of Social Work, 1st Class Hons (Endorsed with Massey Scholar Award)

Kia Ora! I’m Tika (she/her), a Therapist and Registered Social Worker with 8 years of experience working with people with a range of mental health difficulties. I completed my Bachelor of Social Work (Hons) in 2018, followed by a PGCert in Health Science specialising in Mental Health & Addictions in 2019.

Since qualifying, I’ve worked within a range of Mental Health, Addiction, and Intellectual Disability Services (MHAIDS) locally, as well as a stint as a locum in Adult Protection and Medicine of the Elderly in Scotland.

I use an integrative approach that combines relational frameworks (Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy & Systemic/Family Therapy) with practical tools from CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioural Therapy), 'Tuning Into Kids', and ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy).

I particularly enjoy working with young people, couples, parents and family systems.
