ACC Sensitive Claims
After sexual abuse or assault, ACC may fund counselling with a registered provider. You don't need a physical injury, a Police report or a referral from your doctor, and ACC decides cover.

Work and Income
Work and Income may help with counselling fees and travel through the Disability Allowance. You don't need to be on a benefit to apply, and Work and Income decides eligibility and amounts.
How practitioners describe their approach
In their own words, taken from their profiles. These describe how they work; they are not client reviews.

Andrea Bennett
Counsellor, Tauranga
I work with men and women aged 17 through to senior citizens, who require Sensitive Claims counselling. We can meet in person as our primary way of working, but Zoom is available as needed.
-
Sindy Van Zyl
Counsellor, Gisborne
My approach is collaborative, grounded in empathy, and tailored to each person’s unique experiences and goals.
-
Hamish Webb
Counsellor, Christchurch
My approach is trauma-informed and draws from a range of therapeutic methods, including person-centred therapy, CBT, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, psychodrama and somatic approaches.
How Counsellors NZ works
- Our counsellors, and independent practitioners
- Our own counsellors work online and you book them on this site. Everyone in the directory runs their own practice and manages their own bookings; contact or book them from their profile.
- Listings are reviewed
- Counsellors NZ reviews each listing before it appears. Roles, qualifications and memberships are shown as each practitioner gave them.
- Booking and questions
- Where a practitioner sells sessions here, you book and pay by card on their profile. A question you send goes to that practitioner, who replies to you directly.
- Fees and funding shown
- Each practitioner sets their own fees. ACC and Work and Income registrations are marked on each profile; ACC decides cover, and Work and Income decides eligibility.
For organisations We are developing workplace counselling for New Zealand employers. If your organisation would like to hear more, get in touch.
Self-reflection tools
Quick and private, no email needed. Each is a starting point, not a diagnosis.
