In certain circumstances you can get funding. You can get WINZ funding if you are on a benefit. If you are working, check at your workplace. Many employers see the value in funding counselling and coaching sessions for their employee’s wellbeing and development. Also if you are a sensitive claims client you can get ACC funding. I am an ACC registered counsellor.

The answer depends on you and your situation. We can discuss this during our first session together, remembering you are always in charge of determining what’s right for you. We will also review the number of sessions as we work together.

NZAC counsellors are required to meet standards of training, ongoing professional development and accountability to ensure they offer a safe and effective service. NZAC counsellors receive regular supervision. This ensures that you are provided with an ethical, professional service.

We know from research that the relationship between the client and counsellor is more important than the type of counselling used. Most counsellors use a range of ways of working and know how to find the right modality that works with each client.
