The need for high quality, culturally responsive psychological interventions to be made available and accessible for indigenous people is greater than ever. Yet, in Aotearoa New Zealand (where indigenous Māori are over-represented as clients in most clinical settings) the majority of clinicians providing services are non-Māori, and the majority of therapeutic interventions being used with Māori have been imported from other countries. In the absence of therapies which have been created for, and delivered by Māori, for Māori, an interim step for those working with indigenous Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand has been to take existing evidenced based therapies that align well with Māori values, and enhance them so that they become more responsive to the unique needs of the indigenous population.
