What is Counselling?

 

Counselling is an opportunity for a person to look at issues, problems and or challenges through talking with a fully trained, qualified and accredited counsellor.

 

These sessions offer a safe, secure, confidential, non-judgemental, non-discriminatory place for you to speak openly, knowing that the counsellor is there to listen to you.

 

The aim of counselling is to empower you the client to be confident in making your own decisions and choices. Those that will lead you to see things more clearly and encourage you to make positive change.

 

All our counsellors are members of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) and are bound by their rules, regulations and codes of ethics for good practice in counselling.

                    The Counsellor and Client Relationship:

 

 

As we offer person centered counselling sessions the relationship between the counsellor and client is paramount to the therapeutic process. It is therefore critical that the client trust their counsellor.

In that regard all clients are made aware by their counsellor that all sessions and the records of these sessions are kept strictly private and confidential.

 

All counsellors have a duty of care to their clients as stated in the ACA code of Ethics and Practice a full copy of which is available to the client on request.

 

All reasonable steps will be taken by the counsellor during sessions to ensure the physical, emotional and psychological safety of the client during the session.

 

Please be aware that the counsellor will, with the consent of the client enter a contract of agreement of the terms on which counselling is offered. This is to be signed by both parties prior to sessions commencing.

The agreement will include a section on mandatory reporting and boundaries of the counselling relationship.

 

Counsellors do not give advice legal or otherwise. They will not judge or criticize.

They will work in a way that affirms the client’s common humanity and uniqueness. This includes cultural context and worldview of the client.
