Can I see a therapist online in Wellington?

Yes. Most of our therapists offer secure video sessions anywhere in New Zealand, so you can start soon even if there’s no in-person slot near you. Research shows online therapy works as well as in-person therapy for common concerns like anxiety and depression.

What’s the difference between a therapist and other mental health professionals?

A therapist is any qualified talk-therapy professional. If you specifically need diagnosis or psychological assessment, choose a psychologist; for shorter, present-focused support, a counsellor is often the right fit.
