More than just sharing a room

I’m looking for someone to share my therapy room on Milford, North Shore.

I’m a counsellor and ACC Sensitive Claims provider, originally from Brazil, and one thing I’ve really come to value since building my life and career in Aotearoa NZ is connection, relationships and creating professional networks.

So, while sharing the cost of the room is part of it, I’m not simply looking for someone to rent a space. I’d love to create a little more of a collegial connection. There is something about independent clinical work that can become quite isolating. I’d love the space to help us share a little of that load, not by working together, but by simply having other people around who understand what it is like to do this work.

Perhaps that means:

• sharing referrals when something isn’t quite within our scope
• exchanging ideas and resources
• having someone to debrief a tricky “what do I do with this?” moment with
• learning from each other’s different professional perspectives
• sharing opportunities, connections and networks
• supporting each other through the less glamorous side of self-employment
• occasionally having a coffee together
• celebrating a good day, a new qualification, a new client, or simply surviving another busy week 
• and, hopefully, creating some genuine collegial relationships along the way.

I’m particularly open to allied and complementary professionals — for example, counsellors, psychologists, occupational therapists, social workers, speech-language therapists, coaches or other professionals whose work fits comfortably within the space

I’m also flexible about days and arrangements.

If this sounds like the kind of working relationship you’d enjoy, I’d love to hear from you and have a chat. 

Availability:

• Let’s discuss!

Prices (incl. GST):

• Casual: $23
• Half day: $57.50
• Full day: $92

Note: The room has stairs and no elevator, so it may not suit clients with mobility needs.

Feel free to get in touch for a chat, even if you’re not completely sure what arrangement you’re looking for yet. We can talk and see what might work.

Thank you!
