Online Counselling
Online counselling can be a comfortable and flexible way to access support, wherever you are in New Zealand.
I offer online counselling with the same warm, genuine and collaborative approach I bring to my in-person counselling in Christchurch. You can meet with me from a private space that feels comfortable for you, without the added time or travel of getting to an appointment.
You don’t need to know exactly what you need before we begin. We can start with what is happening for you and explore things together, at your own pace.
Is online counselling right for me?
Online counselling can be a good option if you live outside Christchurch, have a busy work or family life, find travel difficult, or simply feel more comfortable talking from your own space.
For some people, being at home can make counselling feel a little easier. You can settle somewhere private and familiar, perhaps with a cup of tea, and have space afterwards without needing to immediately drive somewhere or return to a busy environment.
Online counselling may suit you if you are looking for support with relationships, anxiety, grief and loss, life changes, feeling stuck or overwhelmed, or experiences from your past that are still affecting you today.
You don’t have to be in crisis to come to counselling. Sometimes it is simply about having a safe space to understand yourself, your relationships, and what you would like to be different.
How online counselling works
Online sessions are held through a secure video link, allowing us to meet face-to-face from wherever you feel comfortable and have privacy.
Before your appointment, you’ll receive the information you need to join your session. You don’t need any special equipment — just a phone, tablet or computer with a camera and internet connection, and somewhere private where you can talk freely.
Just as with in-person counselling, our time together is shaped around what you bring and what feels most helpful for you.
Not sure about online counselling?
You’re welcome to book a free 10-minute phone chat first. It’s simply an opportunity to meet me, ask any questions and get a sense of whether working together feels right.
