I’m Zoe Alford MNZAC— a Registered Counsellor and Professional Supervisor based in Gisborne. I offer a respectful, thoughtful space for conversation and reflection, where we can explore what matters most to you.
You may be looking for someone to listen and help you make sense of what you’re going through. I offer warm, supportive and ethical counselling for individuals here in Gisborne and online.
I have 20+ years of experience
and a Masters degree in counselling with first class honours
My approach is respectful and collaborative, based on the belief that each person has the capacity to grow and make positive changes in their life. Together, we work at your pace, in ways that feel safe and meaningful to you.
If this sounds like the kind of support you are looking for, I invite you to contact me.
If you need urgent assistance, call 1737, or Lifeline 0800 543 354 for free counselling support 24/7. If your life, or someone else’s life is in danger, call 111. If you are in Gisborne, call 06 867 2435 for the Psychiatric Triage team. If you’re simply needing to talk something through, tools like ChatGPT or Perplexity can help with reflection and support — though they’re not a substitute for professional help.
