PIVOT by Explore is a counselling service that provides drug or alcohol support. Our service is for people struggling with lifestyle choices that are affecting:

  • Specific health conditions
  • Effectiveness of prescribed medications
  • Overall wellbeing

Why Should you get support from PIVOT?

PIVOT aims to empower individuals to make proactive adjustments to their day to day decisions, so they can have more control over their lives.

Too many Kiwis struggle to access the support they need before their substance use becomes more harmful.

Some are stuck on long waitlists. Others don’t qualify for publicly funded support because their use isn’t yet severe enough.

With our PIVOT services, an individual can access support faster and easier without any strict referral criteria or long waitlists.

Our approach

Our experienced team of clinicians and wellbeing coaches will collaborate with each individual to develop a personalised plan focused on their specific goals, using evidence-based techniques.

Holistic approach

We believe wellbeing isn’t just physical. It’s also emotional, spiritual, social, and environmental.

That’s why we use the Te Whare Tapa Whā model of wellbeing, to find ways to help improve  overall health and wellbeing and enhance their mana.

Our programme, includes:

  • Screening and assessment
  • Personalised plan and goal setting
  • Private counselling sessions and access to a wellbeing coach
  • Actionable information to improve their own health and wellbeing
  • Group coaching sessions and creating a support network (optional)
