Counselling

We offer counselling for children, young people, family / whānau and parents/caregivers who need support dealing with difficult life situations

We offer an environment that is non-judgemental, caring and confidential

When we are working with children, parents / caregivers and family/ whānau members are included in the counselling process, if appropriate.
