What is Counselling?
Counselling involves a safe and confidential collaboration between qualified practitioners and clients to promote mental health and wellbeing, enhance self-understanding, and resolve identified concerns.
Counselling provides individuals who would not typically benefit from standard treatment options provided by their general practitioner or psychologist, access to cost-effective complementary psychological interventions, which are responsive to the individual’s mental health needs.
