Why see a psychologist?
Psychologists are highly trained to help individuals, whānau, organisations and communities to improve their lives in various ways.
We are registered with the New Zealand Psychology Board so you can be confident that we will meet their high standards of competence and ethical practice.
We are qualified to undertake thorough mental health assessment and treatment.
We are ACC registered providers.
