Psychiatry referrals:
Blue Harbour Mental Health accepts psychiatry referrals from general practitioners and other registered health professionals.
How to Refer
We welcome adult patients for psychiatric assessment, treatment planning, and follow-up.
Referrals can be submitted using the form below, by secure email to referrals@blueharbour.co.nz, or alternatively via ERMS under Blue Harbour Mental Health. Please include:
- A brief summary of presenting concerns
- Relevant psychiatric and medical history
- Current medication
- Contact details for the patient and referring clinician
Once a referral is received, we will contact the patient directly to offer an initial appointment.
Please Note
- We are not an acute or crisis service. If urgent assessment or care is required, please contact emergency psychiatry services.
- We do not accept self-referrals for psychiatry consultations.
- All patients must be under the care of a GP, with whom we may liaise as needed.
For further information or to discuss a potential referral, please contact us.
Psychotherapy referrals:
Self-Referrals
We accept self-referrals for psychotherapy. If you are considering starting therapy, you are welcome to contact us directly via the link below, or directly via secure email to referrals@blueharbour.co.nz.
You do not need a formal diagnosis or a clear idea of what you want to work on — many people begin therapy because something feels stuck, distressing, or unresolved.
Once we receive your enquiry, we will offer an initial consultation to explore whether ongoing psychotherapy here feels right for you. If your needs fall outside our scope, we will do our best to suggest alternatives.
Referrals from Clinicians
We also welcome referrals from general practitioners, psychiatrists, psychologists, and other health professionals.
If you are referring a patient, please include:
- A brief summary of the presenting difficulties
- Relevant background or treatment history
- Contact details for both the referrer and patient
Referrals can be sent directly via secure email to referrals@blueharbour.co.nz, or through the link above.
We are also happy to discuss potential referrals informally before a formal referral is made — please feel free to get in touch.
