Individual Counselling

60 MINUTES $135

I see individual counselling as a process that supports people to resolve personal, social, or psychological challenges and difficulties. Counselling provides an opportunity to receive one-on-one support and experience growth during challenging times and issues such as: maladaptive behaviour, anger, anxiety, depression, grief, marriage or work relationship challenges, parenting problems, trauma, career changes, etc. 

The therapeutic relationship is an important part of this process as it enables trust and personal growth to occur. When I work with people in individual counselling, we explore explore thoughts and  beliefs, feelings, and behaviors. This includes identifying aspects in life that  that are impacting on functioning, for people to gain a better understanding of themselves and others, set personal goals, and work toward the desired change.

ASSISTANCE

I am also a registered counsellor with  Work and Income (WINZ).   You can check online or with your local WINZ office to find out whether you are eligible for financial assistance through The Disability Allowance from Work and Income . Work and Income (WINZ) subsidises counselling for beneficiaries and low income earners (including NZ Superannuitants and students) through the Disability Allowance. You can receive this Allowance if you meet income criteria and your Doctor agrees that you need counselling.
