The following practitioners have all received training in Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy and have indicated that they are available to accept referrals and enquiries for their counselling/psychotherapy services.

There are hundred certificated REBT practitioners in New Zealand; most, however, work for organisations where they are not able to accept referrals directly from members of the public. If you are seeking therapy from such an organisation, you would need to ask if a practitioner skilled in REBT is available.

Please note that some of the practitioners on the list below work privately on a fee-paying basis; and those working within the public health system will be available only to assist with problems for which their agency is contracted to provide a service to the public. Please clarify with the practitioner concerned the basis on which you agree to work together before beginning therapy. Please also mention that you are making contact with the practitioner as a result of their listing on this website.

While the New Zealand Centre for Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy cannot take any responsibility for the actions of individual practitioners on this list, should you have concerns, you are welcome to make contact with the Executive Director for advice on what steps you might take to have your concerns addressed. Please also see the article on this site: A checklist for clients interested in receiving counselling, psychotherapy or hypnosis.

Please note that the Centre is not able to provide any assistance with locating a therapist other than making available the information on this page.
