Association of Psychotherapists Aotearoa New Zealand
We are the Association of Psychotherapists Aotearoa New Zealand, Te Rōpū Whakaora Hinengaro, a professional organisation dedicated to the advancement of all forms of psychotherapy.
Formerly known as NZAP, we changed our name in June 2024 to include Aotearoa to reflect our commitment to te tiriti and bi-culturalism.
We aim to facilitate excellence in the practice of psychotherapy and to nurture and link psychotherapy practitioners across the country.
As an organisation we have made a commitment to honour the Treaty of Waitangi and we have a partnership relationship with Waka Oranga, which provides support and a membership pathway for Maori psychotherapy practitioners.
From time to time we provide responses and reflections on public issues and events that concern psychotherapists and their clients such as mental health and social service policies and practices.
