Wellbeing support is available for cyclone-stricken Napier residents.

Mental health advocate Mike King and winery owner Greg Miller are opening the "I Am Hope Wellness Centre" there today.

It's situated on the flood-ravaged Valley d'Vine restaurant premises on Linden Estate.

A team of four counsellors and one doctor are taking annual leave for a fortnight to offer health services at no cost.

King told Kerre Woodham they want to be operating for a minimum of three months.

He says he's contracting as many counsellors as he can to spend at least six hours at the centre a day, paid for by donations.
