Reach your ‘optimal life’

Moving forward can be easier with a little help. A significant event or worsening mental health can hold us back from living an enjoyable, optimum life.

OP Counselling can support you in processing big emotions like anxiety and depression, or overcoming hurdles in life like grief or trauma. Together, we can find solutions so you can start enjoying life again.

Solutions focused counselling

I’m John. As a counsellor, people talk with me because they want to move through major events, or generally improve their outlook on life. 

Everyone’s ‘optimal life’ looks different. Do you want to overcome a traumatic event, or are you struggling to create meaning for your life? By understanding what living better looks like for you, we can create plans through our counselling sessions to help you reach your optimal life.

Book your counselling session

I’m based in Christchurch, and I hold face-to-face sessions in Avebury House in Richmond. I can also schedule online counseling sessions if you live around New Zealand, or it’s more comfortable for you. 

If you receive the Disability Allowance, WINZ may be able to cover some counseling costs. I’m also registered with Gumboot Friday, who can fund up to two initial sessions for young people.
