Services Offered
Children and young people's counselling
There are all kinds of reasons why a young person might want a bit of extra help with whatever's going on in their life.
They might be having problems at school or at home or be finding things difficult with a girlfriend or boyfriend.
It can be tough trying to sort out this kind of stuff by themselves. Talking to someone who isn't involved is a good way of helping them figure out what they'd like to change. Family Counselling
Family Counselling gives your family a safe and confidential place to talk about things with someone who won't take sides. There could be 2 or 10 of you, the premise is the same... everyone in one room, all being given the opportunity to talk through their issues and feelings.
Our Family Counsellors have specialist training in supporting all kinds of families with varying issues. They are qualified to support small and larger groups, ensuring a fair process where everyone's voice can be heard. The counsellor will facilitate an environment for everyone to discuss their issues, supporting them in finding ways to resolve conflict or move forward.
Relationship Counselling
Relationship Counselling can help you with any problems in your relationship or just help you to get to know your partner better.
Regardless of your relationship status, be it single or otherwise, we can help you strengthen relationships you already have or work on whatever issues you may be up against. We work with people regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, beliefs, disability or ethnicity.

If You Call, Please Let Us Know How it Went:
Were You Able to Make an Appointment?
One quick last question. Who was seeking counseling today?
Do you know the reason they are not accepting clients?
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
