​​Counselling

Please use our online form to contact the Counselling Coordinator for appointment bookings or enquiries. 

Dealing with trauma, change, loss and grief can be very hard at times. You don't have to do it alone. Having someone working alongside you can make a difference​. We offer counselling for adults, children, young people, and family/whānau who are experiencing any kind of grief, loss and trauma. 

We have a family-centered approach when working with tamariki. This means we include parents or caregivers and family members in the counselling process when appropriate.

The range of issues we could support you with include:

  • Grief and bereavement (including bereavement by suicide or homicide)
  • Trauma (including witnessing a traumatic event)
  • Family break up and adjusting to blended families
  • Behavioural issues (anger in children, bullying, ASD)
  • Illness and anticipated death
  • Mild to moderate mental health issues
  • Domestic Violence
  • Broken relationships
  • Injury or disability
  • Disaster aftermath

Skylight offers counselling services in:

  • Kapiti
  • Porirua
  • Lower Hutt
  • Wellington

Online Counselling is also available. You can connect with a Counsellor at a time and place that suits you. All you need is a computer and the internet. Telephone counselling is also offered.
