WHAT WILL IT COST?
Hopefully nothing!
We have access to funding for most people seeking counselling, including new or returning ACC Sensitive Claims clients.
Get in touch to discuss your options by completing our HEART Collective Referral form
ACC SENSITIVE CLAIM
Anyone who has experienced sexual abuse or sexual assault in New Zealand, including visitors to the country, can get help. There is also help if you're a New Zealand resident and have experienced sexual assault or sexual abuse while travelling overseas.
If you're not sure if this includes you, we encourage you to reach out. If it turns out you don't meet criteria, your first sessions will still be free and we will support you to find the help you need. You will not be charged for any sessions you have already had.
Regardless of whether the event happened recently or a long time ago, reach out to someone for support when you're ready. You don't need to have told anyone or have reported it to the Police.
GP REFERRAL FOR ADULTS
Simply ask your GP to send an electronic counselling referral to their PHO. If you wish to see one of our therapists, you can ask your GP to nominate HEART Collective in the referral information.
Once we receive the referral, we will make contact with you to arrange the first appointment.
***Unfortunately, if your Medical Practice is a Pinnacle Midland Health Network Practice, we can no longer access funding for your sessions***
PRIVATE COUNSELLING FEES
Please contact us to request a quote. Our providers have a range of fees dependent on skill, specialty and qualifications.
We usually require a 50% booking fee to secure your appointment. The balance of the fee is due prior to the appointment.
In the event of cancellation and changes within 48 hours or non-attendance, the 50% booking fee is forfeited.
