Face to Face Counselling | Kaiāwhina
We offer affordable, barrier-free counselling with professional counsellors to young people within the Dunedin and Otago area. We are mindful of young people's specific needs, work with them to understand their concerns and co-create solutions to ensure they receive the support they need. We believe that cost should not be a barrier, therefore cost is calculated to ensure it is accessible to all.
