What is Counselling? Book a counselling session today and find out how we can help.
Counselling is a form of talk therapy that offers a safe, non-judgmental space to explore life’s challenges and freely express yourself. At Haerenga Hauora, we see you as the expert in your own life. Our role is to facilitate meaningful kōrero (conversation) to help you delve deeper into your experiences, untangle complexities, and gain clarity on surrounding issues. Together, we’ll navigate these challenges, empowering you to take control and reintroduce joy and purpose into your journey.
How Can Counselling Help?
Our counsellors are trained, registered professionals with a range of empathetic and evidence-based techniques. Whether you're struggling with emotions, thoughts, behaviours, or life situations, we provide the awhi (support) you need.
Sometimes, it’s easier to talk with someone outside your regular circle—someone who can offer a fresh perspective in a confidential space. That’s where we come in, creating an environment that’s both comforting and constructive.

What to Expect from Counselling
Counselling at Haerenga Hauora is a partnership. You’re in the driver’s seat, setting the pace and deciding how to use your time—whether that means diving deeply into a specific issue or shifting focus as needed.
For couples and family therapy, we create a space free from judgment and blame. Instead, we encourage curious exploration and work towards future-focused solutions. Our goal is to address any hara (conflict) in a way that feels affirming for everyone involved.
