If you speak to me by phone, I can briefly discuss with you your reasons for wanting couples counselling, give you a sense of the number of sessions that might be needed, and discuss times for an appointment that would best suit you. Leave me a message if necessary and I’ll get back to you if you’re in NZ, usually the same day.

​

If contacting me by phone seems difficult or uncomfortable, then by all means email me. I clear my emails most weekdays. My preference is to counsel face to face rather than by email, so email is really a means to just touch base. The relationship I form with you is important to a successful outcome, and this is more easily developed face to face or via skype, zoom or Whereby.

​

If I am booked up, I am able to discuss with you the possibility of seeing other practitioners whom I know and whose skills and competence I can recommend.

​

Skype, Zoom or Whereby: Online counselling

​

Jeff no longer does Skype, Zoom or Whereby because sadly Ihecannot find the time to meet the demand. However, Lucy Cabot-Saunders (see Lucy's profile by clicking on her name above) may be able to accommodate you.

Cancellation Policies:

Please note that cancellation must be made more than 48 hours before a session so that the time can be made available to others. Late cancellations and forgotten appointments will incur a full fee, so please let me know if rescheduling would be a good move.

​

Location:

The location of my therapy rooms at 59 Aynsley Terrace, Hillsborough, Christchurch offers privacy, a beautiful view, and peace and quiet just twelve minutes by car from central Christchurch. I do my research and writing from this room also, so come and enjoy the library of self-help books I’m surrounded by. A google map showing the location of Jeff’s consulting rooms will show you how easy it is to reach the expertise that could transform your relationship.
