“In counselling you are helped to explore your difficulties and concerns, and to develop more satisfying and resourceful ways of living.” Information leaflet New Zealand Association of Counsellors NZAC

For more information on counselling please go to the NZAC website.

CAT offers people the opportunity to explore difficulties and concerns using a variety of creative mediums. These include: Visual Art, Sandplay therapy, Music, Drama, Movement, Creative Writing and Storytelling. You do not have to be an artist or have any previous arts experience to work with CAT.

“In times of crisis, mourning, grief and loss, artistic expression helps us to convey and cope with powerful emotions, to repair and transform feelings, and eventually to restore wholeness” Cathy Malchiodi (2002)

Supervision

Supervision is available for counsellors/therapists and others in the helping professions either individually or in small groups. Supervision is an opportunity to reflect on practices, increase skills and knowledge.

It can also help with managing change, conflict resolution, setting goals and gaining a clearer picture of work related issues with the aim of achieving 'Super - Vision!'

Online counselling and supervision sessions are now available via Zoom.
