Talkingworks was started by Karen Field way back in 2006 when the internet was just warming up and creating a website was tricky and expensive. She decided to create a counselling directory to help colleagues promote their services online and provide the public with a simple way to find the help they were looking for.
Karen was a psychotherapist (PBANZ, MNZAP, MNZAC) in private practice on the Hibiscus Coast for 16 years. Today she works fulltime keeping Talkingworks humming along.
Raewyn Knowles is a psychotherapist (PBANZ, MNZAP, DAPAANZ, MNZAC) in private practice for 15 years, including eight years in West Auckland. She works full time providing counselling, therapy, supervision, group facilitation and training.
Raewyn joined the Talkingworks admin team in 2023 to to help out with all the website tasks that happen in the background, that support therapists to promote their services to the public through this online directory.
