Life Linc Counselling has been offering affordable counselling to all those who seek it in Nelson-Tasman since 1974. We are able to keep the costs to a minimum because our counsellors donate their time, and the client contributions helps to cover administrative costs and expenses. We receive no Government funding and rely solely on grants, sponsors and donations from our service users.

Community Contribution Model

The cost per counselling session is based on your income and is a sliding scale. Fees start from $30 per session for individual counselling and $60 per session for couples. You can view all the rates here.

The true cost of counselling is approximately $90+ per session. Through grants, donations and community support, Life Linc is able to subsidise this cost. We ask clients to contribute a minimum of $30 per session where possible. If financial circumstances make this difficult, we encourage clients to discuss alternative contribution arrangements with us. No one will be turned away solely because of an inability to pay.
Payment

The counselling session cost is expected to be paid on the day of each session. Our bank details are Life Linc Charitable Trust, NBS Bank, 03-1354-0669814-00. If you are having trouble making the payments for your counselling, please contact the office at 03 548 2400 to discuss options.

Appointment Times

You will set a weekly appointment time with your counsellor. We have counselling available Monday-Friday from 9am to 5pm.
