Improve the lives of others through counselling.

What is Counselling

Counselling is a type of therapy where individuals of all backgrounds talk to trained professionals to better understand their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. It is beneficial for those seeking support to overcome challenges, improve their well-being, and develop strategies for personal growth.

There is a significant need for counsellors globally. In Australia, more than 27,800 individuals are expected to work in this field by 2026. This highlights the importance of counselling in providing mental health care and promoting well-being for individuals and communities.
