We offer a range of support services and equipment. Find out more on our accessibility/disability services page.

Free Counselling Services 

Our counselling service provides ākonga with short-term counselling support. These sessions are free for all ākonga and are approximately 50-60 minutes long. 

This confidential service allows you to discuss your concerns and emotions in a safe place.

For many, one to two sessions may be enough, but if you do need more we can discuss this with you and develop a plan or offer referrals if appropriate.

Counselling Services include:

  • Face-to-face appointments
  • Phone appointments
  • Online web-based appointments (via Zoom)

Cancellations

If you are unable to keep your booked appointment, please contact us as soon as possible.

Toi Ohomai Campuses are Smokefree

Toi Ohomai promotes an environment that’s safe and healthy for all students, staff and visitors, and protects the right of everyone to breathe in clean air. In order to support the New Zealand government’s goal to become a smoke-free country by 2025, all Toi Ohomai campuses proudly became smoke free on World Smokefree Day, 31 May, 2014.

Our health centres provide free support for students and staff who want to quit smoking. Come and see us!
