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.

    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.

  • 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.
