Testimonials

Don’t just listen to us. Here is what some our clients say.

Feeling low for months

“I had been feeling low for months and kept brushing it aside. When I finally started talking in counselling I realised how much I had been carrying. It was a relief to feel understood and no longer hold it all in.”
– Alex, Dunedin

I am beginning to feel like myself again

Getting out of bed was difficult most mornings and I felt like I was only going through the motions. Counselling gave me a safe space where I did not have to pretend. Progress has been gradual but I am beginning to feel like myself again.
– Liam, Dunedin

It helped more than I expected

When I first reached out I honestly did not know what to say. I just knew I was not okay. Counselling gave me a place to be real without needing to explain everything perfectly. It helped more than I expected.
– Sophie, Dunedin
