At our centre in Whangarei, we offer low-cost counselling services to help you navigate the difficulties, concerns and life transitions you are facing. Our goal is to assist you in developing a more satisfying and resourceful way of living. Whether you are facing stress, relationship issues or seeking personal growth, we provide professional support that’s tailored to your needs.
Counselling sessions are one hour long and can be done face to face, or via phone or video call. It’s important to us to keep this service affordable. The cost for a session for an individual is $100, or $95 for community service card holders and for a couple it is $120 (this includes GST). If the cost is an issue for you, please talk to us. There may be funding available, which can be accessed through your GP or other means. We are more than happy to discuss this further.
All our Counsellors are fully trained and are members of the NZCCA and/or NZAC. Their ethics ensure they are trustworthy, respect your confidentiality, will listen to you carefully and sensitively, and support you professionally in making the changes you choose to make.

I enjoy working with people of all ages. I have worked with children, young people, couples and families in addressing a variety of issues. These include the physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual needs of the individuals involved. I encourage the search for their own strengths as these are often hidden beneath the problems they may be facing. I use a range of counselling methods including person-centered, narrative and cognitive, and I enjoy using the arts and creativity.

I like to walk alongside people with a collaborative approach to the situations that are brought to therapy. Reaching crossroads in life and working through challenges that come requires courage and openness to change. Taking time to tend to these events, and to grow and transform is necessary.
