Counselling and Psychotherapy Services

Counselling

Counselling is a therapeutic process that involves a trained mental health professional helping an individual to identify and work through personal and emotional challenges. This can involve exploring feelings, behaviours, and beliefs in a confidential and non-judgmental environment, with the goal of improving mental well-being and achieving a greater sense of fulfilment and happiness. The counselling relationship is collaborative and centred on the needs and goals of the client, with the counsellor providing support, guidance, and practical tools for growth and change.

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy is a form of mental health treatment that uses talk therapy to help individuals understand and overcome emotional and psychological difficulties. In Australia, it is typically provided by trained psychotherapists who use evidence-based techniques and theories to guide clients towards greater self-awareness and well-being. The goal of psychotherapy is to support clients in gaining insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and to help them develop new coping strategies and build positive relationships with others.
