Adult Individual Counselling Service

NDIS support available

For adults, healthy psychological functioning and rich social experiences are central to a meaningful life. Therefore, our adult individual counselling service is intended as a partnership for setting and achieving meaningful life goals.

Our adult individual counselling service is for adults who wish to engage in a therapeutic partnership to set and achieve goals such as:

• improving mood

• improving relationships

• increasing emotion regulation

• experiencing enriching activities and social engagement with community

• developing habits of mindfulness and relaxation

• modifying and changing behaviour, or breaking old habits

• developing new communication strategies

• coping with separation or divorce

• recovering from family violence

• managing workplace stress

• moving through grief and loss

• processing a once-off traumatic event

• resolving adjustment difficulties

• working through existential or spiritual crises

What to expect from the Adult Individual Counselling Service

The adult individual counselling service begins with a standard-length initial session. During this session needs, values, and goals will be discussed, and a counselling plan established. Individual sessions may involve expressive therapies such as working with artistic media like paint or clay, as well as mindfulness exercises, and/or cognitive-behavioural interventions. They can also include the experience of positive social relationships in the context of an enriched environment which often occurs naturally through the counselling process. Homework may form part of the counselling plan. Progress toward goal achievement will be regularly reviewed by the client and their counsellor. Evidence-based interventions are used throughout this process.
