A bit stuck and would like some strategies to help you cope?
Are you over 65 or do you support someone who is over 65?
Would you like to chat to someone about some things you may be struggling with? These may be changes in health, living situations, finances, mobility, physical or mental health and also changing relationships with family/whanau.
Age Concern Counties Manukau can provide a service across the whole Counties Manukau region, (including Franklin), thanks to 4 of the Local Boards in our region; Manurewa, Howick, Papakura and Mangere/Otahuhu - First Sovereign Trust and SKYCITY Auckland Community Trust.

She is a person centered counsellor and believes we are all worthy of, and deserve dignity. As a person-centered counsellor, the foundation she works from is the high intimacy of the client/therapist relationship, and the sincere dialogue between two human beings.
