FAQ's - nWow! Counselling & Coaching

NLP, EFT, Hypnotherapy, counselling and coaching – I don’t know what I need or what would help me. How do I work this out?

Sometimes people come to us wanting a specific therapeutic approach. Most of the time however, people just know they have an issue they want help with. We will discuss your goals and needs in the first session and also any preferences. We mix and match the tools according to the person, their strengths, needs and goals.

How can I find out if I can get Winz funding for counselling?

If you are on a benefit or have a low income, then you may be eligible for funding through Work and Income under the disability allowance.  The income limits for this are generally posted on their website.  Your doctor will have to certify that counselling is necessary. An application form (your doctor will have these) is filled out by you, your doctor and finally us. 

How many sessions will I need and how often?

It all depends on how simple or complex your situation is, how many things you wish to work on and what your goals are. Sometimes clients are also seeking support over a particular length of time or period of their life. This is entirely up to you.  We do however point out that if you have a number of issues you want to work on, then weekly sessions are ideal to keep the ball rolling.

Who will I be working with?

For individual sessions, it’s often a case of which one of us answers your call or email. If you have a preference then simply let us know.

If you are contacting us for couples counselling, then you will be working with Jan unless you specify sex coaching.

What does ‘nWow’ mean and how is it pronounced?

To pronounce nWow, simply say the letter ‘n’ and then say WOW! When we started out, we thought about what we represent and how we work.  We help people start really enjoying life again and get the ‘Zing’; the WOW back – in short we wanted to help people ‘put the WOW back into now’.

Do you do phone or online consultations?

Yes, you can have sessions via phone or Zoom.  You can also choose this option for appointments when you are unable to make it to the office for any reason.  We generally do not offer hypnotherapy sessions this way. However for regular counselling, coaching, NLP or EFT phone and online is fine. 

You’re German right? Can you do counselling sessions in German?
Jan is a native speaker and can conduct sessions in German if you wish. Maree studied German and is fluent enough that sessions can be a mix of German and English (she’s better at understanding than speaking though).
What about other cultures?
We have experience working with many different cultures and are happy to work with anyone for whom English is a second language.

We are also happy to help you with any questions you may have about what we do or if you would like to have a chat with us to find out how you can benefit from working with us.
