Counselling is available with a registered counsellor (with additional training in the area of palliative care) through North Haven Hospice. Counselling aims to provide emotional support for patients and their families/whanau.

Counselling can happen at the Hospice or at home, and is part of the free Hospice service.

Emotional support is recognized as an important area of care at Hospice, and the counsellor works as part of the integrated team.
