Fees

Individual Sessions: $160.00 per session

Couples / Family Sessions: $210.00 per session. GST not included.

​​

If you would like counselling but due to financial hardship cannot afford my full fee, please reach out as I am open to discussing a reduced rate. 

​

Please see the information below regarding funding for young people aged 12-25 and WINZ Subsidies.

​

Payment Information

  • Payment Due: On the day of the appointment or prior

​

Methods Accepted:

  • Internet Banking

  • Cash (on the day)

  • Please note: EFTPOS is not available

 

How to Pay

  • An invoice will be emailed to you for easy online payment.

​​

​Once an appointment is booked, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to change or cancel it. This helps me make the time available to other clients. 

​

If sufficient notice isn't given, the full session fee will apply. The good news: If we find another time that same week for you to attend, the cancellation fee won't be charged.

​

Life can be unpredictable! If something unavoidable happens, please reach out – I'm always open to a conversation about genuine emergencies.

WINZ Subsidies
If you currently receive a benefit from Work and Income New Zealand, you will be able to apply through your GP for a disability allowance to contribute to our sessions. If you are not receiving a benefit, you can still apply – check criteria here


WINZ currently covers $80.35 per session. This means that you can either top-up the rest to meet my full fee, or we can see each other fortnightly. 


WINZ will pay you direct; and then you will need to pay me online. 


Email me and I will send you a pre-filled form. 


You will need to get your GP to fill in their section and then you'll submit this to WINZ.
