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.
