Asani: Courage in Connection

What is Asani?

Asani is a collective of therapists. We focus on practical support to help people create healthier relationships, deepen intimacy, and strengthen connections with themselves.

Our therapy services include individual and couple’s counselling, a reset room, workshops, retreats, and events. We have physical spaces to meet privately and for groups. From time-to-time we deliver workshops and retreats in different parts of New Zealand.

Joni Morrissey Sitting

Our founder, Joni Morrissey, draws on her African roots in the naming of Asani. In Swahili, Asani has connotations of rebellion or defiance. In our work it signifies the inner courage – or rebellion – needed to connect and make life changes. That is where our message ‘Courage in Connection’ comes from.

Testimonials

Joni has been a blessing.

I have very low self-esteem and anxiety to mention a few and since seeing Joni, I’ve not only learned how to love myself but in the process of loving myself, I’ve lost weight in the area that I’ve struggled with for years and I’m so much more confident. Joni has been nothing but supportive & nurturing during the whole process.

Thank You Joni

Seanne

Joni is the best therapist I have had, and I’ve been to years of therapy with many others.

She gets right to the root of things and doesn’t mess around. I appreciate her diligence, care, and professionalism.

Joni will be my therapist for life. I’m so grateful.
