New Zealand organisations offering crisis help, information and specialist support. These services are independent of this practice, and several of them are free and available around the clock.
If you need to talk to someone now, these services answer immediately. In an emergency, call 111.
Services based here in Taranaki, rather than the national organisations listed above.
Information, self help tools and referral pathways for the difficulties people most often bring to therapy.
Broad, reliable starting points if you are trying to understand what you are dealing with, or looking for something to pass on to a family member who is struggling.
Helplines and information sites do a different job from therapy. They are good at immediate support, at explaining what a difficulty is, and at pointing you toward the right service. What they cannot do is get to know you over time, which is where ongoing therapeutic work earns its place.
If you are already sure that longer term work is what you want, the practice offers individual adult psychotherapy along with two group programmes. If you are not sure, that is an ordinary place to start from, and a short conversation usually clears it up faster than more reading.
