What you should know about VisionWest Counselling Centre
VisionWest Community Trust has been offering community based services to people in West Auckland since the 1980’s. The Trust was formally incorporated as the Friendship Centre Trust in 1988 in response to a growing desire of the Glen Eden Baptist Church to help those in need in the local community. The Trust responded to the needs present in the community and grew to be one of the largest community based Trusts in West Auckland. We still have a huge heart for West Auckland and all our services are based in our one campus in Glen Eden.
Apart from Homecare and Community Housing, the team works with people through Training Education, Counselling, Social Work Support, Chaplaincy, Financial Literacy and Budgeting Support, and Community Banks Food, Curtains, and School Uniforms and Op Shop. At VisionWest, we continually review our services and, in 2015, one of our strategic priorities has become launching a more holistic model of care to support people we work with, namely, the Whanau Centre. Whether it’s working with a child in the Kindergarten, a Young person at the Training Centre or an adult seeking Counselling, there is a whole family and community that sits alongside this person. When the appropriate resources are allocated to support people, the whole family and community can be connected together to become part of the journey towards a better future.
Working with the whole family and linking with the community is part of bringing transformational change and is central to VisionWest’s Vision and Values.

When we look back over the past 25 years or more at the journey we have been on here, you can’t help but sit back and say Wow! From incredibly humble beginnings to an organisation that now has over 100 employees, has a National reach, and works with over 15,00 people every year. With all that change though, one thing has remained constant, our absolute commitment to doing what we can to meet the needs of our community. Our vision statement, which is so much more than just some words hanging on a wall, is Transformed Lives, Healthy Communities. That statement guides us, drives us and ultimately is the standard by which we judge our work.
We are committed to building a lot more houses for those in need within our community. We are building an organisation and infrastructure that continues to be ready and able to meet both a growing and ever changing environment. And we are gathering around us a group of partners who can walk with us and support us on this journey because we know, we absolutely cannot do this on our own
