Wellbeing
Many of us go through times in our lives when we feel we lack direction, purpose or meaning. These times can be challenging to navigate through, and this is where having a person to help you focus on your wellbeing can inject clarity, motivation, and a sense of control into your life.
The team members at the Visionwest Wellbeing Centre have the professional and practical skills to help you grow your strengths and create positive changes to bring focus to your life and enable you to reach your personal goals and unlock your true potential.

Clinical Supervision
For a professional counsellor, regular supervision is recommended. It is a way to ensure good care of both the counsellor and their clients, and results in professional growth and good practice.
The Visionwest Wellbeing Centre provides experienced formal supervision in a warm, safe and supportive environment, where counsellors and psychotherapists are able to discuss their work and continue to improve their skills. Each session is specifically tailored to meet the individual needs, skill-level and personality of those being supervised.
Counselling In Schools
Children often seem so resilient that it’s easy to forget how incredibly sensitive they can be to what’s going on around them. The reality is children often need counselling support the same as adults do.
The Visionwest Wellbeing Centre is a provider of one-on-one counselling sessions for children in a selected local primary and intermediate schools. The need for these sessions increased over COVID lockdown times and following the Auckland flood events as many children grappled with the uncertainty of those events and the associated trauma and anxiety caused by them.
