Why see a Counsellor?

There are times in your life when stuff happens and you might find yourself dealing with a mental health challenge, feeling a little stuck or struggling. At times like this it may help to see a Guidance Counsellor.
Counsellors are here for you to listen from a non-judgmental position. Students can expect meetings to be conducted in a professional and confidential manner.

To learn more about confidentiality please see the link below:

Counsellors at Tawa College use a wide range of person centered approaches responsive to different issues and needs.
Counsellors may see you on your own, with a support person or with whanau if needed.
As part of our team youth workers also provide individual support and group work.
