Create your ACC & WINZ Directory Profile

Are you an ACC-registered counsellor, therapist or other provider, or a counsellor who works with Work and Income (WINZ) Disability Allowance clients? List your services in the Counsellors NZ directory so people looking for funded support can find you by region, district, specialty and how you work.

ACC services appear on the ACC Provider Map and on the regional ACC counsellor pages. Work and Income services appear on the WINZ counsellors page, with your session fee. If you take both, one profile covers both, and people can enquire with you directly. Listing is free for individual counsellors and therapists, whether you work with ACC clients, Work and Income clients or both, and each profile is reviewed before it goes live.

Create your profile for the Counsellors NZ directory of ACC and Work and Income (WINZ) funded counselling. First tell us about you or your practice, then describe the service you provide and who funds your clients. Your profile will help people understand your services and find appropriate support.

About you or your practice

This is your main identity in the directory. It stays the same whichever services you offer and whoever funds them.

Leave blank to be listed under your own name.

Your service

Now describe what you offer. If you take both ACC and Work and Income clients, or work in more than one ACC role, from the same practice with the same description and locations, keep them together here as one service -- that never splits your listing.

The heading people see for this service, for example "Counselling & Lead Provider Services".

Who funds clients for this service? *

Tick both if you see ACC clients and Work and Income clients through this same service -- you do not need a separate service for each.

Which ACC services do you provide? *

Select all that apply. They will all be listed together under the one service above.

Work and Income clients

Clients apply to Work and Income for help with your fees through the Disability Allowance. They see these details on your profile before they contact you.


Work and Income only helps with counselling from a counsellor or psychologist who meets its registration or membership requirements, for example NZAC, NZAP, the Psychotherapists Board or the Psychologists Board.


Your usual fee for one session. The allowance has a weekly maximum, so clients compare this first.


For example how often you usually see people, a reduced fee, or anything you need before the first session.

Describe the counselling or support you provide, your approach, areas of experience, and what clients can expect. You can use headings and lists to organise your information.

How is this service delivered? *
Are you accepting referrals for this service? *
Areas covered (select all that apply) *

The area(s) you cover, separate from your practice address above. Required for an ACC Lead Service Provider listing, and for a Work and Income service you deliver in person. Otherwise optional.

North Island
South Island
Chatham Islands

Add another service if you offer something that needs its own description, location, availability or service information -- for example an equine-assisted programme alongside your counselling practice. You do not need one just because you selected more than one ACC role, or both funders, above.
