Life Linc Counselling
At Life Linc Counselling, we believe everyone deserves to feel safe, respected, and supported when seeking counselling. We welcome people of all cultures, ethnicities, faiths, genders, sexual orientations, ages, abilities, relationship structures, and life experiences. We are committed to providing a professional, non-judgemental, and culturally responsive service where all people feel valued, heard, and empowered.
We recognise the unique place of Māori as tangata whenua and acknowledge our commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi. We continue to learn, reflect, and strengthen our practice to support equitable outcomes for Māori and all members of our community.
We welcome members of the LGBTQIA+ community, neurodiverse individuals, disabled people, migrants, former refugees, and anyone seeking support during difficult times. Our goal is to provide a counselling environment where you can bring your whole self and know that you will be treated with dignity and respect.
Life Linc Counselling is an affordable counselling service for those seeking assistance. Our mission is “to provide a professional, caring, non-judgemental and affordable counselling service to those who seek it.” We have counselling rooms in Nelson, Richmond and Motueka. We have been serving the Nelson-Tasman region since 1974 when we initially functioned as a telephone counselling service. Over the years, we have adapted and changed to reflect the needs of our communities. While we no longer offer 24-hour phone counselling, we have maintained our vision “to create positive change in our communities by enabling people to find more ease and joy in their lives and relationships.” This vision guides our work and decisions towards providing excellent affordable counselling with the support of our counsellors, staff and board. If you would like to learn more about our history and how you can be a part of our story, please see our history HERE.
