Hana Asi-Pakieto

Talofa, my name is Hana. I am Auckland-born and raised of Samoan descent and my roots trace back to the villages of Falelatai, Lefaga, and Fagamalo. I am married to Morris who hails from the village of Lakepa, Niue. I currently work as a Senior Clinician for Safe Network – a counselling agency providing specialist services for concerning and harmful sexual behaviour towards children. I have worked in this sector for 13 years. I also do private practice, under ACC’s Sensitive Claims pathway, providing support for clients who have experienced trauma through sexual abuse. The work is challenging yet deeply rewarding and grounded in my commitment to breaking cycles of harm and uplifting the mana of those I serve.
