As a college, we want to support every learner who is finding their studies or general life more difficult than usual.
Our team of counsellors aim to help learners navigate through these difficult times by helping to find their own solutions, coping strategies or linking them in with external agencies. Our counsellors at Rolleston College have diverse sets of knowledge, skills and experience. Each counsellor is appropriately trained and maintains a professional registration with an external association.
Our counselling team offers a free and confidential service for learners. They accept self-referrals, or referrals from whānau and staff who are concerned about a learner.
How do I get an appointment with one of our counsellors?
- You can ask your parent, or any teacher that you like and trust to make an appointment for you.
- You can email us and ask for an appointment at any time on our shared email counsellors@rollestoncollege.nz.
- Or you can drop in to see us at any time to ask us to book an appointment.
After a referral is made, an appointment will be booked, and we will send a slip asking to meet with you
In an emergency, arrangements will be made to see the student on the same day.

I joined the counselling team at Rolleston College in 2023. I bring a wealth of experience from my previous roles as a school counsellor, technology teacher and tradie. I look forward to supporting our students, staff and whānau. Outside of work, I am a fly-fisher, motorcycle enthusiast and a family man.

I have been with the Rolleston counselling team since July 2022, to assist and support our ākonga (learners) in their growth and wellbeing, with their whānau and the school community. Being a listener, caring for feelings, knowing and valuing each other; together finding solutions to problems and ways to be all of who we are.

I joined the Rolleston College counselling team in term three 2023. For many years, I have run a private counselling practice, aiming to bring people to an understanding of their feelings and themselves—creating balance and clarity for steps forward. It is my pleasure now to work in support of the akonga, whānau and staff at Rolleston College.
