Story Behind the Name

The kōwhai symbolises personal growth and is said to help people to move on from the past with a renewed sense of adventure. We have therefore chosen this flower to represent our value of personal growth. The glow of the Kōwhai flower represents the help and support people can gain from us to reach their full potential through our counselling services

Kōwhai Therapeutic counsellors are carefully selected and subject to professional standards of training, ongoing supervision and annual performance reviews.

All our counsellors have membership of NZAC (New Zealand Association of Counsellors) or are working towards full membership through courses of study and placements with appropriate service providers.
