All services at the Mental Health and Wellbeing Local are free, require no referral or Medicare card.
Counselling Supports provide a non-judgmental environment where you can reflect on your experiences, understand the challenges you experience, and develop strategies to move forward.
Whether in individual or family-based sessions, the goal is to support your mental and emotional wellbeing, helping you gain clarity and build resilience.
Our counselling services are tailored to meet your unique needs and are:
- Open to individuals, family members, and carers.
- Confidential and trauma-informed.
- Provide flexible options, including one-off sessions or ongoing support to suit your goals.
