Nothing is decided in this step.

Professional context
AUT BHSc Counselling, final year completed, and NZAC Student Affiliate member, with over 200 hours of clinically supervised counselling experience. I receive 1 hour of supervision for every 10 hours of client work.

- Provisional NZAC membership pending.
- I practise under regular supervision and work within a clear counselling scope. Some needs may sit outside what I can safely offer.
- If that happens, I will say so clearly and support referral options where needed.
Calendar not loading, or prefer a separate window? Open the booking calendar in a new tab. If a form feels easier or you want to say less at first, you can send a short enquiry instead. Both are fine.
Online sessions
How online sessions work
Sessions happen over a secure Google Meet video call, set up so it feels private, predictable, and unhurried.
- Your calendar invite is anonymised, so it simply says something like “Meeting with John”, so nothing on your calendar names counselling.
- A computer, tablet, or phone with a microphone and a reliable internet connection is enough. Earphones can help with sound and privacy. Camera off is welcome for both the intro chat and ongoing sessions.
- A phone with a camera and earphones is a fine option, as long as you are somewhere safe and private. We can find what helps you feel most at ease.
- If the connection drops and we cannot reconnect, I will phone you on the number you have given me so we can finish the session. Phone is only a backup, so you are never left mid-session without a next step.

You can send a short enquiry first. You do not need to explain everything.
