Te Tumu Waiora: To Head Towards Wellness

​We offer mental health and lifestyle support to help patients facing challenges with mental health or addictions. Te Tumu Waiora offers practical, short-term support to help you work through these issues and find the next right step.

Our Health Improvement Practitioner (HIP) and our Health Coach provide personalised advice and support to patients to help them work towards self-management and connect to other services they may need.

Health Improvement Practitioners

Support for whatever you’re going through.

Our on-site Health Improvement Practitioner (HIP) offers free mental health counselling consultations to people of all ages and at all stages of their lives, with any issue related to mental wellbeing.

Whether you are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, low mood, or adjusting to a health condition, we can help you make sense of things and figure out your next steps.

To get started working with our HIP, book a consult with your GP.

​Note: we also have emergency appointments with Dean on the days he’s working – please call us on 09 846 0002 to book.

Health Coaches

Our on-site Health Coach helps you make sustainable lifestyle changes, empowering you with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to take charge of your health.

Appointments are free, and focus on things like improving daily routines, making lifestyle changes, managing stress, building confidence, understanding test results, and staying on track with your health goals.
