Counselling in Cromwell
Personalised, compassionate mental health support — close to home
Therapy in Cromwell
At The Therapy Project, we offer individual (1:1) counselling in Cromwell for adults seeking a safe, confidential space to explore what’s going on for them and create meaningful change.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, burnt out, navigating a life transition, or simply wanting to understand yourself better, our counsellors provide thoughtful, evidence-based support tailored to you.
Counselling Support in Cromwell
Life in Central Otago can be beautiful — and also isolating, demanding, or stressful at times. Our Cromwell-based counselling services are designed to support people who want professional mental health care without needing to travel to Queenstown.
We work with individuals experiencing:
Anxiety and chronic stress
Depression or low mood
Burnout and work-related pressure
Relationship and family difficulties
Grief, loss, and major life changes
Trauma and adverse life experiences
Self-esteem, confidence, and identity concerns
Emotional regulation and overwhelm
Sessions are client-led, meaning we move at your pace and focus 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.
