counselling

Can counselling help?
The issues people bring to counselling are many and varied.
At Hamilton Therapy Centre we get referrals from the Family Court, ACC – both medical and sensitive claims, General Practitioners, CY&F, EAP Service Providers, other agencies and private clients as well.

Within all of that there is custody and access, working as separated parents, marriage counselling, counselling for people with head injuries, victim support, anger management, drug and alcohol counselling, eating issues, career choices, relationship building … and much more.

Who is counselling for?
Counselling is for anyone who has something they want to talk through with someone. In many ways, we can engage in forms of counselling in our everyday lives – in our day to day conversations we can help people, at times without knowing it. Sometimes though, we may find ourselves in a place where we are looking for more than what we can get from those we know.

Each person has their own story to tell, their own experiences. Counsellors aim to work alongside people making sense of their experiences and giving them new ideas to take into the future.

Hamilton Therapy Centre is a group practice of counsellors who can help with a wide range of issues. Counselling is a process to help you discover your own strengths and come to your own decisions. On the whole the counsellors at Hamilton Therapy Centre use a narrative approach to work with you and the issues that you bring.

How Much Does it Cost?
The cost varies depending on which counsellor you see, and whether funding is available. Please discuss with Claire or Lyn.
