Online therapy in New Zealand

A therapist who works around your week

Choose your own therapist and meet online, wherever you are in New Zealand. Evenings and early mornings included.

Whether you're in Auckland or hours from the nearest town, the wait for talking therapy can be long. This is a shorter path: choose a therapist, pick a time, and meet from home.

Why online

The same therapist, every week, wherever you are

Consistency is what makes therapy work, and in much of New Zealand that's hard to arrange in person — the provider is far, or the waitlist is long, or both. Online, you choose from every therapist working in your language, pick a time in your own zone, and meet from home. For anyone rural, or on the South Island away from the main centres, this is often the only way to keep seeing the same person week after week.

The session is the same. Whether you can keep it up is what changes.

What we work with

What brings people here

  • Anxiety and constant low-level dread

    The worry that doesn't attach itself to anything in particular, and doesn't switch off when the day ends.

  • Depression and flatness

    Including the kind that is hard to justify, because on paper nothing is wrong.

  • Burnout and exhaustion

    When the job stopped being difficult and started being impossible, and you kept going anyway.

  • Grief

    After a death — but also after a marriage, a career, a friendship, or a version of yourself.

  • Relationships and family

    Including the arguments that are never really about what they appear to be about.

  • Loneliness

    You can be lonely in the town you grew up in, surrounded by people who have known you for thirty years.

This is not a complete list. If what you're carrying isn't on it, that changes nothing — therapy starts with you, not with a label.

Therapy in your city

How it works

Three steps

You read the profiles and choose your own therapist. You pick a time from the hours they have open, shown in your own time zone. And you meet by video call, from wherever you are. Each profile shows the fee up front.

About Wefeel

What Wefeel is — and what it isn't

Wefeel is a place to find a therapist and arrange to meet them online. We verify that every therapist listed here is qualified to practise, and we give them a place to be found.

We are not a clinic and we are not a party to your therapy. The session is between you and your therapist, and it belongs to the two of you. What is said in it stays there.

Wefeel is also not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, the numbers below will reach someone right now.

Common questions

Do I need a referral?

No. You arrange the session directly with the therapist.

Is the therapist registered in New Zealand?

Each profile states where the therapist is qualified to practise. If it matters for your situation, ask before booking.

Is online therapy effective?

For most of what people bring, research finds no meaningful difference versus in person.

What if it's not the right fit?

Choose another therapist, any time.

Is it confidential?

Yes — subject to the usual legal and professional limits.
