Where possible we can reschedule your appointment for the same week, to avoide a cancellation fee.

My practice is bound by the Ethical Code of Conduct of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors
I receive regular professional supervision, which means that there is an experienced senior counsellor who oversees my work

Our conversations are confidential, which means the I won’t tell anyone what we talk about without your permission.
When you come to see me I will ask you for the name and contact details of someone I can reach out to if I am concerned about your safety - perhaps your partner, your GP, or a close friend.
If I thought I needed to contact that person, I would discuss it with you first and we can decide together what needs to be shared.
In case of emergency, I may need to contact emergency services without being able to consult with you first.
