Who we are
CareNZ supports anyone concerned about their own or someone else’s use of alcohol or other drugs.
We provide a range of services throughout the country, in both the community and prison settings.
We currently operate Community Services in Counties Manukau, the Waikato Region, Greater Wellington and Christchurch. Here you can access a variety of services, from assessment and individual counselling to group work and whanau support.
In addition, we are operating eight Drug Treatment Units (DTUs) in prisons around the country, in conjunction with the Department of Corrections. These programmes offer prisoners the opportunity to address their drug and alcohol issues while serving their sentence, and offer them a pathway to sustainable life changes after their release.
For offenders in the community or those who have been released from prison, we offer support through our Out of Gate Settlement Service and Single Point of Entry triage service.
What we do
At CareNZ, we offer people with addiction – and those who love them – a wide range of services and interventions to make significant changes in their lives.
Don’t be afraid to take the first step and make contact with us – it can make all the difference.
Everything we do will be tailored to your own situation – we recognise that everyone’s different.
We are here for all people, regardless of culture, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, faith, disability, financial situation or education.
Our counselling and group work services in the community and in prisons are free of charge. (Charges may apply for some services. Learn more)
We will work alongside you to find a solution that fits your individual needs. We’ll also work with those who are close to you, and we recognise the importance of whanau in the process of recovery and community re-integration.

Affordable Professional Counselling
Petersgate Counselling Centre is a charitable trust that was established in 1996 to make professional counselling affordable to everyone.
How we can help
Depression, Anxiety, Relationship, Anger, Grief, Self-esteem and Stress
People are provided with practical and motivational supports that enable them develop the skills they need to move on, thrive and improve the quality of their lives.
From our years of experience, we know that every individual's journey to a life of meaning and purpose is a very personal one, which is why we are committed to helping each individual achieve their own unique goals. Our counselling is delivered in ways that are flexible and offer genuine choice and control.
Our counsellors help these people achieve positive change in their lives by supporting them to develop their own insight into their problems and then empowering people by giving them the skills to lead happier and more fulfilling lives and to participate more fully in their communities.
This then:
Lowers psychological defenses and emotional flooding
Increases self-esteem and motivation

An eating disorder is a mental illness. However, unlike most mental illnesses they have a strong physical component and the effects of the eating disorder can have serious consequences on the body. Having a mental illness does not mean you will always have it, people can and do recover from eating disorders.
