Your Journey. Your Space. Your Strength.

Whanganui Counselling Services is a private counselling practice, newly established and backed by over 30 years' life experience: skills, training, knowledge, and expertise in working with people, communication, and change. We were built with intention, not from fault. Our services extend to those near and far, "Yes, and you too". Our firm belief is: everyone should be able to access counselling without lengthy waits, jumping through hoops, ticking boxes, or facing systemic barriers at every turn. Our goal is to get people through the door, and be seen. That is why we exist.

Now, today, is a good time to step into a safe, supportive space - to sit, be still, talk, and be heard without judgment. Just be. Sort through stuff. We've got your back when you come here. This is your space, and it is my space that I share with you. When you enter the room, it becomes our space: a combined effort. We mahi tahi (work together).

We want people to come through our door and feel at home, knowing they are in the right place. I was recently reminded of the months' long wait lists for a person to see a counsellor, psychologist, or a helping professional - locally and nationally. It is not a task I take lightly. I was tapped on the shoulder. I tried to ignore it, to no avail. Everything kept falling into place. Everything started to align. The more I pretended it wasn’t happening - it kept unravelling right before my eyes. I could not stop it. We are here - Whanganui Counselling Services.

The service we provide is not only for Whanganui but for all surrounding districts, near and far. Nau mai haere mai. It is our goal at Whanganui Counselling Services to provide a space where you can know, see, and speak your truth without fear of judgment. When you can do that, you can be free to forge ahead and do whatever you want to do with your life. It is that simple but not always an easy road to take.
