Counselling Porirua-Wellington - Petro

Safe, confidential, professional

Are you looking for counselling in Porirua or Wellington?

My name is Dr. Petro Booysen. In my practice Counselling Porirua – Wellington I offer safe, confidential, professional therapy, counselling, career coaching and mindfulness sessions.

I have more than 25 years experience in the health sector. As a qualified social worker I work as a Counsellor and Life consultant. I have a professional membership with Aotearoa New Zealand Association of Social Workers (ANZASW).

I support people to positively address challenges in their lives, to enable them to live with an empowered attitude and find the joy and fulfillment they are striving for.

I consult during the week in Wellington CBD as well as the Camborne, Porirua area and online counselling or e-counselling sessions via Skype or telephone are also available.

After hours or weekend sessions are available too via Skype or telephone as well as some late in-person appointments in Wellington and Porirua.

For the time being, I will only be working from the Camborne office as well as online.
