About Kensington Clinic

Kensington Clinic provides confidential virtual and outpatient addiction counselling from New Zealand, with sessions available by Zoom, telephone and, where arranged, in person. Its flexible format is designed to help people access structured support while continuing to manage work, parenting and other everyday responsibilities. The clinic’s central offering is an approximately six-week alcohol treatment programme for working professionals, parents, farmers and people living in areas where residential care may be difficult to access. Clients work individually with an alcohol addiction therapist rather than participating in a shared residential or group environment. Care is evidence-based and tailored to the individual, combining cognitive behavioural therapy, solution-focused goal setting and relapse prevention. Weekly counselling is reinforced by regular telephone check-ins, helping clients recognise triggers, manage cravings, establish healthier routines and build practical strategies for ongoing recovery. Kensington Clinic’s treatment-directory profile also identifies support for drug addiction, prescription and synthetic drugs, opioids, anxiety, anger and co-occurring concerns. However, the clinic’s current official website places particular emphasis on alcohol use disorder, so prospective clients seeking help for other substances or mental health conditions should confirm suitability during the initial assessment.
