Counselling

He Tīwai Mātauranga has a part-time counsellor who provides a confidential service to students and their whānau. Students are supported to become empowered in all areas of their lives. Where necessary, we liaise and network to gain access to specialist mental health providers.

Using skills, knowledge, and therapeutic approaches, students are supported to:

  • Be listened to privately and confidentially.
  • Safely navigate moments of crisis and manage ongoing risk.
  • Externalise their issues and explore their impact.
  • Find solution-focused strategies to use.
  • Identify personal strengths.
  • Strengthen their sense of self and self-esteem.
  • Build resilience.
  • Be advocated for when needed.
