Our services

Clients come to us once a week for an hour-long therapy session for 12 weeks during university semesters, in March, April, May, July, August, September and October. 

If you need urgent assistance outside these times, contact your GP or see the helpful links below: 

• Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand
• Youthline

We provide a friendly and warm environment because we understand that coming to therapy, especially for the first time, can be daunting.

Before coming to the clinic, we organise a telephone conversation with you and our clinic director, Dr Glynnis Carolissen, to find out more about you and how we may be able to help. For your first appointment, Glynnis will meet you and introduce you to a student clinical psychologist assigned to work with you. 

Your therapy sessions will take place in one of our consulting rooms and will be supported by a team observing from an adjoining 'viewing room' via a one-way mirror. The team will include 1 or 2 Psychology trainees and a Supervisor, Clinical Psychologist.

We record therapy sessions so that the clinical supervisors and the student can review the session afterwards. These recordings are treated with the same confidentiality as clients’ written records. They are always kept secure. 

Reviewing a recorded therapy session enhances the student clinical psychologist’s learning, and ensures our clients get the best type of therapy to meet their individual needs.

Client confidentiality is of the utmost importance to us.

All clients’ records (written and recorded) are stored in line with best practice guidelines
