Your path to healing and wellbeing starts here

At Lighthouse Wellness Counselling, based in Auckland, New Zealand, we offer trauma-informed, client-centred therapy.

We provide a warm, safe, and professional space for individuals and couples to navigate challenges and find resilience.

Our counselling services

Lighthouse Wellness Counselling offers a range of services designed to support your journey towards mental wellness and personal growth. Whether you're seeking individual support, funded ACC therapy, or group sessions, we are here to help.

ACC sensitive claims counselling

If you've experienced sensitive claims, you may be eligible for funded counselling through ACC. We guide you through the referral and eligibility process, providing a supportive and confidential environment for healing.

Private counselling for individuals & couples

We offer personalised therapy sessions for private paying clients, addressing a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship issues. Strengthen communication and build healthier connections.

Trauma-informed yoga groups

Launching in October, our trauma-informed yoga groups combine somatic movement with therapeutic support to help process trauma and build resilience in a gentle, mindful way. Discover a new path to healing.

Couples Programme

A structured six-session programme for couples who want to understand their relationship better and build on it. You'll each complete a confidential online assessment, then work through what it shows — communication, conflict, money, expectations — across six 90-minute sessions, usually fortnightly. Private, one couple at a time, starting whenever you're ready.

"I have found my counselling sessions to be incredibly helpful and supportive throughout my journey. The guidance and support I received have made a significant positive impact on my life. I appreciate the online, safe and understanding environment created during the sessions, which allowed me to openly share my thoughts and feelings. The counselling process has provided me with a place to share my feelings confidentially and has been instrumental in helping me navigate through challenges and achieve personal growth. 

I am grateful for the positive changes I've experienced, including improved mental well-being and a better understanding of myself. The sessions have provided me with valuable tools and strategies that I continue to use in my daily life.

Thank you for your dedication and for being a part of my journey. I hope my testimonial can assist others understand the benefits of counselling."

Frequently asked questions

Have questions about our services, fees, or how counselling works? We've compiled some common queries to help you find the information you need.

Do I need a referral?

No. You can contact us directly, whether you're paying privately or coming through ACC. No GP visit, no diagnosis, no paperwork on your part.

How do I book?

Book a session online, or start with a free 15-minute call if you'd rather get a feel for us first.

What happens in the first session?

Mostly talking about what's brought you here and what you'd like to be different. There's no test, no assessment to pass, and nothing you have to disclose before you're ready.

Is what I say confidential?

Yes, with a few limits we'll go through at the start — mainly where there's a serious risk of harm or the law requires disclosure.

How many sessions will I need?

There's no set number. Some people come for a handful of sessions with something specific; others stay longer. We'll review it together as we go, and you're free to stop whenever you choose.

Could ACC cover the cost?

If you've been affected by sexual abuse or sexual assault, ACC funds counselling in full — no cost to you, and you can come to us directly.

What do sessions cost?

$149.50 for a 50-minute individual session, $299 for a 90-minute couples session, GST included.

What if I can't afford it?

If you receive a benefit or have a low income, Work and Income may be able to contribute through the Disability Allowance. It needs a form from your doctor, and it's worth asking before ruling counselling out.

What's your cancellation policy?

Let us know at least 24 hours before a session you can't make and there's no charge. Sessions cancelled inside 24 hours, or missed, are charged in full.
