Life Linc Nelson was established as Lifeline Nelson in 1974 as a crisis phone counselling service.
In 2006, a need was seen to establish face-to-face counselling and we launched that with six sessions of counselling available for clients. This has expanded to a standard offer of 10 sessions for individuals, couples or families to access. In 2016, it was proposed that all the Lifeline branches around Aotearoa were to come under the umbrella of Lifeline Aotearoa based in Auckland. We felt that our community would be best served by us remaining independent and that is when we established the Trust to work as Life Linc Nelson.
We work with fully qualified and in-training counsellors to provide affordable counselling services to the community. With the cost of $25 per session for individuals and $50 per session for couples counselling, our counselling services are extremely affordable for people to access. Any donations above the minimum allow us to help offset costs. By removing the financial barriers to seeking help, we can ensure people get the counselling they need in a supportive environment and that helps improve their home/work/relationships day to day.
Our vision is to create positive change in our communities by enabling people to find more ease and joy in their lives and their relationships. We are dedicated to helping the wider community and want to remove any stigma associated with counselling. We work with clients from ages 10+ and undergo cultural training to ensure our counselling team are equipped to work with people from varied backgrounds. We are a part of the community and here to serve.
