Online counselling · New Zealand
Online counselling across New Zealand
Practical, person-centred support by video, wherever you are in New Zealand.
Counselling that can meet you at home
A real conversation, without the commute.
Online counselling gives you the same focused appointment time with Jonathan while making the practical side of getting support simpler.
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.
Why people choose online
Support that fits more easily into ordinary life
Online is not necessarily a second-best option. For some people it is simply the most workable way to have a consistent counselling space.
You live outside East Auckland
Access Four Pillars from elsewhere in Auckland or another part of New Zealand without needing to be near the Howick office.
Home feels easier
Some people find it more comfortable to talk from a familiar private space, particularly when the first step already feels significant.
Consistency matters
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.
You want practical support
Online sessions can still include reflection, practical strategies, shared resources and clear next steps tailored to what you are working through.
You are attending as a couple
Gottman-informed couples counselling is available online when meeting by video works better for both partners.
What to expect
Three simple steps to an online session
The practical setup is deliberately straightforward so the appointment can stay focused on you.
Choose an online appointment
Use live booking to choose the service and time that work for you, then complete the intake information sent before your first session.
Find a private space
Join from somewhere you can speak comfortably and are unlikely to be interrupted. Headphones can help with privacy and sound.
Meet by video
Use the appointment link provided for your session. If technology gets in the way, we can work out a practical alternative.
Individual online counselling
One-to-one support from wherever you are.
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 few things that make online sessions easier
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 is intended for people who are in New Zealand at the time of the appointment. If you will be overseas, contact Jonathan first so the practical and professional requirements can be checked before the session.
