Methodist Social Services (MSS) grew out of the local Wesley parish, and officially opened 55 years ago, in 1963. Since that time MSS has evolved to meet the changing needs of our community.
Counselling
Counselling at Methodist Social services is oriented for change. It is a process that invites you to engage with yourself in relation to what is going on for you. Counselling hopes to open up pathways to you towards a better life, whatever that might mean to you.
Issues you might bring to counselling include (but are not limited to) -
- relationships, including how to relate better to a partner, what you want out of a relationship, separation/divorce issues including day-to-day care of children, and power and control issues;
- grief and loss, including issues around death, loss of a relationship, suicide of a family member/friend, loss of goals/job/lifestyles, grief issues for children;
- family, including family therapy/healing, parenting, how to relate better as a family;
- stress and anxiety, including employment issues, time management, behavioural problems; and
- Confidence issues, including self esteem, how to feel better about oneself, dealing with conflict, and communication.
Counselling sessions are by appointment, and are usually 50 minutes to an hour. As at January 2018, there is presently no waiting list - give us a call and we should be able to meet with you within a few weeks.
Our counselling sessions are $65 for individual sessions, and $85 for relationship counselling. If this is not affordable there are some funds available depending on your financial and family situation, from various sources, that we can help you access.
There is no charge to our initial intake session and at this appointment we can discuss how sessions might be funded going forward.
