YOUR SESSION
How we work and what to expect from your counselling session.
When you step into a counselling room, you will be met with a warm and inviting presence that radiates kindness and respect. Our goal is to create a comfortable and non-judgmental environment where you feel free to open up and share your story.
Where your Counselling session will take place
We offer nationwide online counselling services to clients through Microsoft Teams, as well as telephone counselling for those who prefer it.
Confidentiality
Your privacy is incredibly important to us. Everything we discuss in our sessions is confidential, except when any safety concerns arise. If we're worried about your or someone else's safety, we'll need to break this confidentiality, but we'll let you know first.
If we deem the risk to be high, we may need to consult with our Counselling supervisor. However, we won't disclose any identifying information to them.
Client Notes
All counsellors keep brief notes of their sessions to monitor their client's progress. These notes are securely stored and only accessible by the counsellor treating you. You are entitled to request a copy of your notes if you require this.
Session Times
Our session times are 50 minutes long.
Changes to Session Times
We know that emergencies happen, so if we need to reschedule your session at short notice, we'll let you know as soon as possible.
Cancellations
If you need to cancel your appointment, please give us at least 24 hours' notice. If you don't show up to your appointment, we'll charge 50% of the session fee.
Complaints
We're registered counsellors with the New Zealand Counsellors Association and are bound by their Code of Ethics.
If you have any complaints or concerns about our practice, please get in touch with with us through the Contact Us page, or you can go directly to the New Zealand Counsellors Association Complaints process.
