Our Services

The Process

The key element of effective therapy is the engagament process. Our therapy process has been designed to ensure a trustful, working relationship between the therapist and every client. All programmes begin with an initial consultation where a personalized treatment plan is designed.
The duration of each therapy session will be 1 hour and conducted in accordance with the New Zealand Association of Counsellors' Code of Ethics.

Individually Tailored Therapy:

Caring Hearts does not believe in a 'one size fits all' therapy approach.  A tailored approach is utilised to ensure that postive goals desired by clients are achieved within a specified time-frame. 

Specialized Therapy for Post-Traumatic Stress: 

We specialize in EDMR therapy which has successfully been used to treat Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. If you have experienced trauma or are struggling with unsettling thoughts, this approach can help one overcome these challenges.
