Please note - this is not a crisis or emergency counselling service. If you need help now, call 1737 to talk to a trained counsellor. Always dial 111 if you (or someone else) is in immediate danger.

In-person sessions are available in central Auckland, with video counselling options (e.g. Skype, Zoom) available nationally. Find out more about OutLine's counselling services on our website.

As part of assessing your referral, OutLine will discuss with you payment for services. We have a scale from $80 to $120 dependant on ability to pay, and in some cases are able to support your application to Work and Income Disability Allowance to cover the cost of sessions or offer alternative subsidised options.

You can indicate what funding support you might need as part of this referral form.
