Coaching is not health care.
Coaching is not therapy, and it is not a substitute for medical or psychological care. If something here is bigger than coaching, please use one of these services first, and come back to coaching when you are ready. In an emergency, call 000.
Numbers and hours checked against each service’s own website and government listings on 27 October 2026. Please confirm before relying on them.
