Counselling Services
What is counselling?
Counselling provides a confidential, safe space for clients to unpack their story. It is a collaboration of the client and the counsellor to develop self-understanding and insight to promote mental health and wellbeing. Exploring options and clarifying issues through self-awareness helps the client to work through their concern to bring lasting change.

Depression and Anxiety
Counselling is an excellent source of support for people experiencing depression or anxiety and can help to achieve the best possible mental health outcome. The feelings and emotions of hopelessness, sadness, worthlessness or overwhelmed, may be caused from life circumstances or personal factors and counselling can offer encouragement and fresh insight to new bring possibilities.
Grief and Loss
Grief is not only the death of a loved one, the feelings of loss can occur when we experience major life changes like unemployment, relationship breakdown, or a missed opportunity. The experience of losing someone or something close to us is difficult. A counsellor can be a listening ear in this season to bring comfort hope and encouragement.
Relationship Issues
Counselling can provide a supportive, non-judgmental space to identify issues, establish new boundaries and learn new communication strategies. Relationships often just need a fresh perspective and insight and counselling can assist with that. Healing and restoration are possible with the right tools to build healthy connections with others.
Trauma
The therapeutic relationship between counsellor and client can build trust and stability for those that have been traumatised. Counselling helps people to identify feelings and emotions associated with their experience and it can help with developing strategies to deal with mental, emotional and physical reactions that accompany traumatic events.
