The Centre is a safe space for all women to access resources, counselling, or information about further support services.
The Women’s Centre is committed to a future based on Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

Established in 1986 The Women’s Centre was originally set up to support women on their journey leaving Women’s Refuge. 

Once the Refuge established its own support system the focus of The Women’s Centre shifted to serving all Christchurch women.

Counselling

The Women’s Centre offers up to 10 free counselling sessions for all women over 18 years old. 

To book your first appointment please get in touch with The Women’s Centre by giving us a call on (03) 371 7414 or email admin@womenscentre.co.nz

Our counselling services are popular and there is usually a waiting list. Once you have reached out to us we will add to you the waiting list and let you know when an appointment becomes available.

If you accept the appointment you will be booked in to meet the same counsellor every week on the same day at the same time, for up to 10 sessions.

Counselling appointments are held from Monday to Friday from 9am until 4pm.
