Neufeld Aotearoa offers attachment based parenting and professional development in New Zealand, supporting both families and the professionals who work with children and young people.
On this page, you’ll find our range of services, including parenting courses, caregiver workshops, and professional development for educators, counselors and other practitioners. Each service is grounded in the Neufeld attachment-based approach, with a focus on strengthening adult–child relationships and supporting healthy development.
At Neufeld Aotearoa, we walk alongside parents, caregivers, and whānau so children can grow in
the safest place of all: a trusted relationship. Grounded in the Neufeld Institute’s attachment-based,
developmental approach, our support helps you lead with warmth and confidence—so you can be
the answer your child is looking for.
We offer two key services for parents:
Parent Workshops & Education and Parent Consultations.
Individual sessions with a Neufeld Parent Consultant designed to help you with specific situations—sleep, school struggles, anxiety, sibling dynamics, big emotions, and more.
Consultations are offered directly by members of our team and promoted both through their individual channels and through Neufeld Aotearoa’s website and social media pages. Consultations are available both ONLINE and IN-PERSON.
Explore workshops to find a format and topic that suits your season.
If you’re not sure which option is right for you, reach out—we’re happy to help you find the best next step for your whānau.

framework—supporting adults to lead with connection so children can rest, grow, and learn.
