Sessions & fees
Location
I offer sessions at my home in Shelly Park, Auckland, or online via video call, whichever suits you best. If you’d like to meet in person, you can choose the setting that feels most comfortable to you:
- a quiet room with views across the valley
- a private garden
- walk-and-talk in the local area (beach and bush walks)
Accessibility
My home is calm, free from scents and clutter, and temperature and lighting can be adjusted to your preferences. We have a variety of seating options, we can take movement breaks, and I have fidgets and a weighted lap blanket available.
This doesn’t mean the space is sensory-friendly for everyone, so I invite you to let me know what kinds of individual accommodations would help you. For example, you may want a support person to come with you, or you may want to record our sessions so you can listen back to them later.
Please note that the meeting space is on the first floor, reached by a set of stairs. The stairs might be a barrier for clients with limited mobility.
What do I charge?
I offer a sliding scale depending on your situation. Rates range from $100/hour (for those who are unemployed or facing financial hardship) to $150/hour (for those in full-time employment).
These rates are for a full 60-minute session, not a 50-minute ‘counselling hour’.
Individualised Funding can cover part of my services. If you think this might apply to you, contact your local Needs Assessment Service Coordinator to check your eligibility.
