At the Windsor Park LifeCare Trust, we're keen to provide the best possible care. The Windsor Park Christian Counselling Centre is a faith-based counselling centre here on Auckland's North Shore where you can receive help and support through all the challenges of life from professionally trained and accredited counsellors.


You don't need to be a Christian to receive help here, but we do believe the best healing happens when there is a willingness to open up all aspects of who you are, including your spiritual side (whatever that looks like). All discussions at the Windsor Park Christian Counselling Centre are confidential and no information about you is provided to anyone else without your express permission.


There is a fee for this service (typically $120-$150 per session), but in some instances partial sponsorship and links with funding providers can be utilised.


The Centre operates from purposely-designed rooms, separate from the main flow of Windsor Park Baptist Church. If you'd like to talk more about how this Centre might be of help to you or someone you know please fill in the form below, email us at counselling@wplifecare.org.nz, or you can contact us on (09) 477-0002. We aim to respond to all queries within the week. We are not a crisis or urgent care centre, if you are in need of urgent care please use the after hours contact details below.

  • Alison Redwood |  Practice Manager and Counsellor

    Alison is an experienced and practical counsellor with a Bachelor of Counselling and full membership in the New Zealand Christian Counsellors Association (NZCCA). She has extensive experience working with individuals aged 16 and over, as well as couples. Alison provides a safe and supportive environment and is committed to fostering a therapeutic alliance that empowers clients to develop resilience, self-awareness, and healthier coping mechanisms.


    Drawing on 30 years in public health and the disability sector as a nurse, Alison transitioned into counselling 15 years ago. She brings a wealth of empathy, understanding, and expertise to her practice. Her approach is grounded in evidence-based modalities, specifically Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) and Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), which focus on deepening connection and intimacy in relationships. Alison also uses cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) to help clients correct negative thinking patterns. She works with a diverse range of clients, addressing issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, grief, and life transitions.

    Alison is connected with several sources that may assist clients in accessing fully funded sessions. These include workplace EAP programmes, Gumboot Friday, Youth Hub, and she is a registered counsellor with ACC sensitive claims. Alison offers both in-person and online counselling.


    As a Christian, Alison often has clients who specifically seek support that weaves their faith into their healing journey. Her dedication to her clients' well-being, combined with her professional qualifications and extensive experience, make her a trusted and effective counsellor. She is passionate about helping individuals and couples navigate their emotional landscapes, heal from past wounds, and build stronger, more meaningful connections.


  • Joanna Jensen  | Counsellor

    Joanna's counselling practice encompasses clinical supervision, mental healthcare, relationship counselling, family counselling, and life coaching. She is registered as an ACC sensitive claims counsellor, an EAP counsellor, a clinical supervisor, and also as an EMDR facilitator.


    Joanna has worked for over 20 years in clinical social work and counselling roles in various settings including Mental Health, Disability, Community Social Work, Social Services Management, and Clinical Supervision.


    In her counselling practice she specialise in working with children (aged 6+), teenagers, and adults. Joanna's counselling space is a safe haven for clients on their healing journey, where she blends holistic and integrative counselling techniques.


    As a migrant herself (South Korean), she is adaptable and works well across all cultures. She has four adult children so relates well to the joys and challenges of parenthood.


    Joanna's supervision clients come from various social organisations, as well as some from the education and corporate sectors. The majority of her counselling clients are fully funded by ACC, EAP, Gumboot Friday, Health West, and other social funders, and she is always happy to chat about what funding may be available to you.

  • Emily Morrow  | Counsellor

    Every counsellor brings a unique approach to their work. Emily's counselling background is somewhat different in that she practiced family law for 20 years before becoming a counsellor. She realised that although the law provided some solutions for clients, there were many problems it could not address. Emily wanted to work with clients at a deeper level and this led her to get a PG Dip in counselling. 


    Emily combines a warm, caring, and supportive approach and focus on what is at the heart of a client’s concerns. She has a special gift of being able to sense that essence and weave it into her work together with clients. By combining her counselling skills with practical understanding, she works with the heart and the head to get the best outcomes.


    Her areas of practice include:

    -Individual clients (teens through adults).

    -Couple counselling and relationship enrichment (specialised training).

    -Anxiety, depression, stress, and mood management.

    -Grief and loss.

    -Family estrangement, relationship management.

    -Dealing with narcissistic personalities and gaslighting.

    -Parenting.


    Appointments on evenings and weekends if needed.
