Free Counselling Services

We provide free individual counselling for children, adolescents, and adults aged 4 and above. No referral or Mental Health Care Plan is required. This service is particularly helpful if you have used your Medicare sessions or prefer not to access Medicare. In these cases, they do not need a referral from their GP. Our provisional psychologists and counsellors-in-training can see a diverse range of clients experiencing a range of mild-moderate mental health challenges.

If you are unsure whether we can help you with your situation, do not hesitate to enquire.

Session details:
All counselling sessions are 50 minutes in duration. Before starting counselling, you will complete a
30-minute intake call to help us understand your needs and match you with the most suitable clinician. This call will discuss a little bit about your background, and needs for support. This is to ensure we have matched you with the most appropriate clinician, and we are able to provide you with the support you need. Should other support services be more appropriate to your needs, we can help you find alternative support where possible.

As our clinicians are in training placements (typically 16-20 weeks), you may be transferred to another clinician if you require longer-term support.

**Disclaimer: Whilst our clinicians are able to support clients during sessions, we are not a crisis support center. If we are not a suitable service for your needs at this time, we may be able to provide information on other support services.
