At Anchor Counselling Wellington, we believe that everyone deserves a safe and supportive space to explore their thoughts, emotions, and challenges. Life can be unpredictable and overwhelming at times — whether it’s navigating relationship struggles, dealing with stress or anxiety, or finding your way through grief or trauma. We’re here to walk alongside you.

Our counselling practice is grounded in compassion, clarity, and connection. Whether you’re struggling with emotional overwhelm or just feel stuck, our goal is to provide a calm, non-judgmental environment where you can begin to untangle what’s going on and take meaningful steps forward.

We work with individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of concerns. Some of the most common reasons people reach out include anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, relationship challenges, and emotional stress. No matter what you’re going through, you don’t have to face it alone.

Our services include:

• Couples Counselling: For those feeling disconnected or stuck in cycles of conflict, couples therapy helps rebuild communication, trust, and intimacy.

• Anxiety Counselling: Whether it’s panic, social anxiety, or constant worry, we help you understand your triggers and develop tools to calm your nervous system.

• Depression Counselling: If you’re feeling low, numb, or without direction, we support you in reconnecting with meaning, hope, and emotional balance.

• Trauma & Abuse Counselling: For those living with the impact of past trauma or abuse, we provide trauma-informed care to help you process and heal safely.

• Grief Counselling: Loss looks different for everyone. Whether you’ve lost a loved one, a relationship, or a sense of identity, we’re here to support your grieving process.

• Stress Counselling: Burnout and overwhelm are real. We’ll work with you to find ways to manage your stress and regain balance in your daily life.

We proudly serve the wider Wellington region, including suburbs such as Te Aro, Thorndon, Kelburn, Mount Victoria, Mount Cook, Newtown, Brooklyn, and Wellington Central. Our location offers both in-person and online sessions to make counselling more accessible no matter where you’re based.

Anchor Counselling Wellington is not a large franchise or corporate chain. We’re a small local service built around care, trust, and authenticity. We focus on building real human connections — not just quick fixes. Every session is tailored to your needs, your pace, and your goals.

If you’re considering counselling for the first time or returning after a break, we welcome you. Taking that first step can feel daunting, but it also marks the beginning of something meaningful. Let’s talk — and together, we’ll find a way through.
