Therapy in Christchurch
At The Therapy Project, we offer individual (1:1) counselling in Christchurch for adults & adolescents seeking a confidential, supportive space to explore challenges, build resilience, and support their mental wellbeing.
Whether you’re navigating stress, anxiety, burnout, trauma, relationship difficulties, or a major life transition, our counsellors provide personalised, evidence-based support tailored to your needs and goals.
Counselling Support in Christchurch
Living in Christchurch can bring unique pressures — balancing work, family, recovery from stress or trauma, health challenges, or simply the pace of modern life.
Our Christchurch counselling services are designed to provide accessible, professional mental health care, supporting individuals who want thoughtful, high-quality support in a calm and respectful environment.
We work with individuals experiencing:
Anxiety, stress, and chronic overwhelm
Depression or low mood
Burnout and work-related pressure
Relationship and family challenges
Grief, loss, and major life transitions
Trauma and adverse life experiences
Identity, self-esteem, and confidence concerns
Emotional regulation and coping difficulties
Sessions are collaborative, confidential, and focused on what matters most 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.
