Ngā mihi,
Kōwhai Centre Admin.
The Kōwhai Centre provides free counselling support to the community.
Student counsellors from the Bachelor of Social Services programme offer supportive counselling to members of the public in a training environment under NZAC supervision.
Students of the programme are in their second year of training, bringing with them theoretical knowledge, life experience, previous training and diversity. As a client of the Kōwhai Centre, you may be asked by your student counsellor for permission to record a client session. If this happens, you will not be visible on the recording – the camera will be focused on the counsellor.
Students are supported by lecturing staff who are also counsellors, to provide free counselling that is professional, supportive and accessible. The Kōwhai Centre is not available to Otago Polytechnic students for counselling.
The Kōwhai Centre is open to the public. We accept donations and do not charge for services.
Our hours of service are:
Wednesday 3pm - 7pm
Thursday 11am - 7pm
Friday 9am - 3pm
