Men's Counselling NZ
Practical, Confidential Counselling for Men
You don't need to be in crisis to talk to a counsellor.
Many men come to counselling because something simply isn't working anymore.
It might be your relationship. Work may be taking over your life. You may be losing your temper more easily, feeling anxious, struggling after a separation or finding that you're withdrawing from the people around you.
At Counselling & Therapy NZ, we provide confidential counselling for men throughout New Zealand.
What Do Men Come to Counselling For?
We support men dealing with:
Stress
Anxiety
Depression and low mood
Anger and irritability
Relationship difficulties
Separation
Parenting
Fatherhood
Work pressure
Burnout
Grief
Trauma
Low confidence
Loneliness
Communication difficulties
Major life changes
Feeling stuck
Difficulty knowing what comes next
You don't need to arrive knowing exactly what you want to talk about.
Working that out can be part of counselling.
Work Stress & Burnout
Work can become closely tied to identity, financial security and your sense of responsibility.
When work pressure becomes excessive, it can affect sleep, mood, relationships and family life.

Anger & Irritability
Anger can sometimes be the emotion that appears on the surface when underneath you are experiencing stress, frustration, hurt, anxiety or feeling powerless.
Counselling can help you recognise triggers earlier and develop more constructive ways of responding.

Relationships
You may love your partner and still have no idea how to fix the pattern the two of you keep falling into.
Individual counselling can help you understand your own reactions, communication and relationship patterns.

Trauma & Difficult Experiences
Some men have spent years trying not to think about experiences that continue affecting them.
You do not have to wait until those experiences become unmanageable before seeking support.
