BEFORE YOU EXPLORE
Clear expectations from the start.
Who is it for?
Counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists based in New Zealand or Australia and establishing or growing their own private practice in those countries. Students and provisional practitioners must follow their supervision and registration conditions.
Can I use the packs with clients?
Yes. Jonathan Kirk, Four Pillars Counselling, has reviewed the eight packs with supervision and approved them for client use. Use them within your competence, adapt them to the person, and follow the client-use licence and guidance.
How do I access membership?
Sign in with Google or an email link and return with the same sign-in method and account. Membership requires internet access and a current browser. Practice tools unlock after payment is confirmed.
Where does my work go?
Optional workspace saving stays in this browser. It does not sync across devices. Use generic preparation notes and do not enter client records. You can download and restore a backup.
Who is behind the Toolkit?
FP Practice Toolkit is developed for Four Pillars Counselling in New Zealand. It is an educational and practice-planning resource, with no professional-body endorsement or accredited CPD claim.
