Rata Counselling Services Christchurch

At Rata Counselling Centre in Christchurch, we empower people to make effective changes in their lives. As a result of our counselling services, we have seen demand for our service rise with client numbers increasing 50% in the last 3 years. The largest increase has been the demand for our youth service for which we now have a waiting list.

You can help us continue to support, empower and make a difference in people’s lives by making a donation.
