Ways we can help
A place to begin, whatever brings you here
Find a counsellor
Browse private practice counsellors by experience, approach, location and fees, then contact the one who feels right.
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.
Help with costs through 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.
Counsellors New Zealand isn’t ACC or Work and Income. These are New Zealand schemes, and your counsellor can check whether they apply to you. Counsellors set their own fees. In an emergency in New Zealand, call 111; to talk with a trained counsellor, call or text 1737. Outside New Zealand, contact your local emergency services.
