About the Business
Welcome to BEAM Counselling, a brand-new practice located in Ōtautahi Christchurch. We are a group of qualified counsellors who are passionate about helping people find their way. With years of life experience, we bring a unique perspective to our counselling sessions.
One of the advantages of being a new practice is that we don't have long waitlists, so you can see a counsellor without delay. You can find us on Level 2 of the Burwood Health Centre on Mairehau Rd, Parklands.
At BEAM Counselling, we aim to help individuals from Year 9 and above. We consider ourselves "generalists" rather than "specialists" because we believe that everyone who comes to us is unique. However, we do have a particular interest and more experience in providing counselling for certain issues.
Our approach to counselling is based on Solution-Focused and Person-Centered Therapies, combined with our own lived experiences. We also incorporate techniques from ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. Don't worry if these terms sound intimidating – they simply reflect our training and dedication to different counselling styles.
There are countless reasons why someone may seek counselling, and we understand that taking that first step can be daunting. That's why we prioritize building a trusting and positive counselling relationship with our clients.
Our values define our kaupapa (purpose). We believe in the power of hope, even in the darkest times. We are here to help, not to judge, and we strive to truly understand what you're going through. We also recognize the healing power of nature and the importance of the bicultural context of counselling in Aotearoa.
Giving back to our communities is important to us, and we actively support various causes. Additionally, we understand the financial stress that many people face, and we aim to be flexible with our fees and payment terms.
If you are eligible, we are registered with WINZ and can provide counselling funded through the Disability Allowance. To find out more about eligibility and how to apply, please click here, call WINZ on 0800 559 009, or speak to your GP.
At BEAM Counselling, we believe that no matter how difficult things may seem, there is always hope. We are here to be a ray of light in the darkness and help you find your way forward. We will help you uncover your hidden strengths and experience moments of real joy in your life.

Reviews
"After being in a very dark space i was introduced to Beam Counselling, I believe this was the best thing i have done for myself, i worked with the beam team for what i call a considerable time. They are very professional and wonderful people to talk with and had a great deal of empathy for my situation. there is no judgement and worked through my issues and anxieties. I know where to go if i need more help in the future. With the help from the beam team i am back on track and looking ahead in such a positive way. all i can say is Thank you guys so much."
"I do couples counseling with Matt both my partner and I have enjoyed attending the sessions and have learnt a lot about ourselves and each other and we still are learning as we go. We would recommend as we have tried couples counseling before and was unable to stick with it. Winz are able to help as well."
"I was at a desperate end with my mental health after my latest life experience that I knew I needed to talk to someone in the counselling sector. After looking at 3 or 4 options on line it was beam counselling that took my eye and the response was direct and thorough, and in a manner that just felt right. After messaging with my details I was approached by Matt S. Who was quick to accommodate for me and before I knew it the first step to overcoming my latest life hurdle was put to rest as we had our first catch up. I felt like I could be myself, talk real and I guess most importantly I was put at ease early, he gave me that sense of friendship, a person I could call upon that could see my situation for what it was and put to rest my anxiety of all the negative thoughts that had been weighing on my shoulders to that point. From that session a plan of attack was set, and from then on it was all about moving forward through more positive thoughts and actions set out together. I strongly recommend Matt S. At Beam counselling, for his down to earth dimena, his understanding of human error, all the external factors that I had no control over which ultimately lead to my experience and for the reassurance of self forgiveness, and that we are human after all and for putting everything into a more complete perspective so I could move on with comfort in myself."
