About this service

Asking for help can be scary, it may seem hard to reach out but we want to assure you that we’re here to support you. The fact that you’re here means you’ve already taken the first step, speaking to a counsellor can help you process and release difficult feelings, negative experiences, recognise triggers, and create specific strategies that will positively benefit your every day life.

We offer up to six subsidised counselling sessions for women, and 10-12 sessions for children & youth. Free family support sessions are also available.

Our contracted counsellors specialise in a range of issues including play therapy, grief, relationships, sexual abuse, addictions and change of life direction. They are all members of the NZ Association of Counsellors.  

All sessions are held in a safe environment and confidential unless there is a serious concern for the safety of you or someone else and in that case your counsellor would talk to you first before discussing your needs with anyone else. 

Many  have their own private practices, but kindly commit to a number of hours with us each week in service of our clients.

Thanks to a contract with Oranga Tamariki and generous support from Auckland Foundation & the Grassroots Giving Programme, SkyCity Auckland Community Trust and other philanthropic funders we are able to provide heavily subsidised sessions for adults, young people and children. 

Cost

We operate a client contribution system so that cost does not become a barrier for any client. Depending on your circumstances you may be entitled to more sessions, and we can assist you with an application to WINZ to fund your counselling.
