Online counselling · Based in New Zealand
Practical, person-centred support by secure video. If you will be outside New Zealand, contact Jon before booking so your location can be checked.
Counselling that can meet you at home
Online counselling gives you access to Four Pillars from elsewhere in New Zealand, with a focused, private counselling space without the commute.
Book online individual, couples or youth counselling with founder Jon Kirk. You can also book an online individual session with associate counsellor Dan Jamieson.
Sessions are collaborative and person-centred. Depending on what you bring, the work can include anxiety and overthinking, depression or low mood, stress and burnout, grief, self-esteem, identity, relationship difficulties and major life changes.
You do not need a referral and you do not need to know exactly what kind of therapy you want. We can begin with what has been happening and work out what would be useful together.
Outside New Zealand? Please contact Jon before booking. International availability with Jon depends on where you will be physically located during the session, whether online work is a suitable fit and the relevant professional requirements.
Why people choose online
Online is not necessarily a second-best option. For some people it is simply the most workable way to have a consistent counselling space.
Meet without adding travel time when work, study, caregiving or family life makes getting across Auckland difficult.
Meet with Jon from elsewhere in Auckland, another part of New Zealand or an approved international location without needing to be near the Howick office.
Some people find it more comfortable to talk from a familiar private space, particularly when the first step already feels significant.
Online appointments can make it easier to keep counselling in your routine when transport, weather or a changing schedule would otherwise get in the way.
Online sessions can still include reflection, practical strategies, shared resources and clear next steps tailored to what you are working through.
Gottman-informed couples counselling with Jon is available online when meeting by video works better for both partners.
What to expect
The practical setup is deliberately straightforward so the appointment can stay focused on you.
In New Zealand, use the live booking page to choose Jon or Dan for an online individual session. If you will be overseas, contact the practice before booking so your location can be checked.
Join from somewhere you can speak comfortably and are unlikely to be interrupted. Headphones can help with privacy and sound.
Use the appointment link provided for your session. If technology gets in the way, we can work out a practical alternative.
Individual online counselling
Individual sessions can focus on anxiety, overthinking, low mood, burnout, grief, confidence, identity, boundaries, relationships or the feeling that something in life needs to change.

A stable internet connection, a charged device and somewhere private are usually enough. If you share your space with other people, headphones or a white-noise source outside the room can add another layer of privacy.
Online counselling with Jon is available throughout New Zealand and may be available in selected international locations. Because requirements vary by location, overseas clients need to contact Jon before booking and confirm where they will be physically located during each session.
