Counselling for Older Adults
A bit stuck and would like some strategies to help you cope?
Are you over 65 or do you support someone who is over 65?
Would you like to chat to someone about some things you may be struggling with? These may be changes in health, living situations, finances, mobility, physical or mental health and also changing relationships with family/whanau.
Age Concern Counties Manukau can provide a service across the whole Counties Manukau region, (including Franklin), thanks to 4 of the Local Boards in our region; Manurewa, Howick, Papakura and Mangere/Otahuhu - First Sovereign Trust and SKYCITY Auckland Community Trust.
Our Counsellor, Nicole, is qualified and experienced, with an affinity and empathy for older people and the issues that concern them. She is a person centered counsellor and believes we are all worthy of, and deserve dignity. As a person-centered counsellor, the foundation she works from is the high intimacy of the client/therapist relationship, and the sincere dialogue between two human beings. Always safe, always ethical.
Please get in touch to discuss further.
Phone: 2794331 ext 809

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
