Therapy in Alexandra
At The Therapy Project, we offer individual (1:1) counselling in Alexandra for adults seeking a confidential, supportive space to work through life’s challenges and strengthen their mental wellbeing.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, emotionally exhausted, or navigating a difficult season of life, our counsellors provide personalised, evidence-based support tailored to your needs.
Counselling Support in Alexandra
Living in Alexandra and the wider Central Otago region can bring unique pressures — including isolation, work stress, family responsibilities, health challenges, and limited access to local mental health services.
Our Alexandra counselling services are designed to provide accessible, professional support close to home, without the need to travel long distances.
We support individuals experiencing:
Anxiety, stress, and ongoing overwhelm
Depression or low mood
Burnout and work-related pressure
Relationship and family difficulties
Grief, loss, and significant life transitions
Trauma and adverse life experiences
Self-esteem, confidence, and identity concerns
Emotional regulation and coping challenges
Sessions are collaborative, confidential, and guided by what feels most important to you.
What 1:1 Counselling Looks Like
Individual counselling offers you a dedicated space — just for you — to talk openly and honestly without judgement.
Our counsellors may draw from approaches such as:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Trauma-informed and nervous-system-aware practices
Attachment-informed counselling
Mindfulness and body-based strategies
Strengths-based and relational approaches
You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting. Many clients begin counselling simply knowing something isn’t quite right — and that’s more than enough.
