What is Counselling?

Counselling is a collaborative process that uses evidence-based frameworks to help you explore and enhance your wellbeing.

What Counselling is not…

Counsellors do not diagnose, perform psychological testing or prescribe medication. We do not make decisions for our clients. We don’t offer advice or quick fix solutions. However, we can partner with, or refer you to other professionals where required.
