Fair pricing, booking policies and subsidies

Professional and reasonable pricing

Your well-being is my top priority, and I truly believe in the positive impact that professional counselling can have on your mental health and personal growth. Investing in yourself, your relationships, and your professional life is an important commitment. 

My fees are thoughtfully set to reflect the personalised care I provide, drawing on my extensive professional training and significant experience, while also ensuring that pricing remains fair. 

Registered with New Zealand Association of Counsellors; Master of Counselling; 15 years of experience.

Booking policies and subsidies

I also believe in being transparent, and so to maintain a professional practice I have rescheduling, cancellation and no-show booking policies.

Below you will find my session fees and booking policies.

I’m aware that financial considerations can sometimes be a barrier to accessing the support you need. Below is a section on potential subsidies you might have access to.

Rescheduling

Please provide notice of at least 24 hours if you need to reschedule your session. This allows me to offer your time slot to someone else in need. 

  • Rescheduling within this timeframe is free of charge. 
  • With less than 24 hours notice, you can also, free of charge, change an in-person booking to an online booking by texting me.

I respect your time and my own. A missed appointment is a lost opportunity for another client to receive support.

Cancellations

Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice will incur a fee of 50% of the booked appointment. This policy helps me manage time and resources effectively.

No-shows

While I appreciate that life can be unpredictable, I am committed to ensuring the sustainability of my services for all clients. Therefore, if you miss an appointment without notifying me, the full session fee will be charged. 

Subsidies for counselling

Work and Income (WINZ) disability allowance

I’m registered with Work and Income (WINZ).  

If you need counselling because of a health condition or disability, WINZ offers subsidies for counselling through the Disability Allowance. You don’t have to be on a benefit to qualify for a Disability Allowance.

If you feel traumatized, trapped, stuck, or entangled in life's challenges, let me first validate your feelings and then help you find a way forward through counselling or coaching as your overall style.
Counselling subsidies for health conditions or disability that's likely to last at least 6 months from when you were diagnosed.

Students, you can apply for health and disability counselling through StudyLink. Click here to find the form.

Employee assistance

Check if your employer partners with an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) or if they offer funding for two or more counselling sessions. 

These benefits can be a valuable opportunity to explore how counselling might support you on your journey.

You retain all confidentiality rights, so no detail of our discussion is reported to your employer.

I’m currently contracted with OCP EAP and would be happy to work with you through this program.

Simply follow your employer’s instructions to contact OCP, and we can begin our work together.
