Welcome to this site. I'm Chad, a counsellor based in Wellington, New Zealand. I approach counselling in a straightforward, simple and respectful way, I'm always happy to field any questions or feedback.

COUNSELLING

This thing we call counselling / therapy can be done many different ways. At its most basic it is a safe and confidential environment where a therapeutic conversation happens. People reach out for a range of reasons including grief and loss, relationship worries, emotional problems, communication, skill building, clarifying direction and purpose, and many other things.
I think there's something special and something good about talking with another person; something that you do not get from a computer, youtube, or tv etc.
Counselling can be exploratory, focussed on solutions; it can be about thinking, the mind, emotions,  relationships, spirituality, purpose or many other things.

I believe it's important that a counsellor is a good fit. If you would like a quick zoom or phone call to get a sense of what I'm like, feel free to get in touch and we can arrange that.

Sessions with me are up to an hour and are currently $120. I am meeting with people face to face in downtown Wellington, and also digitally.

For people with a Community Services Card, I may be able to offer up to 5 sessions at a discounted rate. If that's the case for you please get in touch so we can discuss details (there's no obligation to commit to any sessions).

I am a registered member of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors (provisional member).
