Emily Burden

Kia ora koutou, my name’s Emily. I’m a registered educational psychologist, originally from Somerset in the UK but have lived in NZ for many moons now.

Having completed my undergraduate and postgraduate studies at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington, I’m excited to be part of the Mauri Ora Counselling team to provide support and guidance for students who are embarking on their own journey into the magical world of tertiary studies. I love connecting with people and supporting others to navigate challenges, to overcome barriers and to take steps towards creating meaningful and fulfilling futures for themselves.

Prior to joining the Mauri Ora team, I worked in education and disability sectors, supporting students from early childhood through to tertiary education.

In my spare time, I love to cook, bake, sew, explore new places, go to shows and galleries, and hang out with friends and family.
