Journey together

We are here when you need us.

Whakatika Services is a group of affordable mental health and wellbeing services.

Our Mission

We offer individuals and couples professional psychological counselling, life coaching, and spiritual counselling services according to need and personal preferences.

Our hearts and expertise are focused on hearing, supporting, and championing you as you receive healing for psychological, emotional, or spiritual aspects of the self, including the self in relationship with others.

We care deeply about supporting you on your journey towards a future in which you can rise up, stand straight, maintain fulfilling relationships, and fully engage with both the joys and challenges that await you.

Our Values

Whakatika values professionalism, service affordability, and authentic loving care.

We believe successful, long term healing arises from reaching into all aspects of the human person – mind, heart, body, soul, spirit and relationship.

We believe that all people and relationships are unique, and that a tailored approach to therapy, coaching and guidance, conducted in partnership with our clients, is necessary to honour the uniqueness of individuals, and of relationships.

Whakatika (whaka-tee-kah) is a beautiful te reo Māori word
with multiple related meanings.
A key meaning is ‘to arise, or rise up’; with others including ‘to prepare’, ‘to straighten oneself’, and ‘to start or to set out on a journey.’
Each of these meanings contributes to the core mission and values which form the foundation of Whakatika Services
