We all struggle at some point in our life, which is why we offer a free mental health service to help our WA community. Reaching out for mental health services can be challenging, but so rewarding. There are ways to cope and paths to getting back to ‘feeling yourself’, whether you are experiencing stress, depression, anxiety, or any other mental health challenge. We have a team of trained professionals who are here to help in a non-judgemental, welcoming, and safe environment.

What to expect at your first counselling appointment.

You are unique, and so is your personal situation – so we start by completing an assessment, which is our way of understanding your challenges and goals before beginning your treatment. At this point, if required, we can also put you in touch with complementary services that may help get you back on the path to your best self.

We support you until you are ready to leave.

All our mental health counseling services are delivered free by qualified counselors. Our team is available to help until you feel ready to leave. We don’t restrict you to a specific number of appointments or require you to meet a strict schedule. The aim is to help you the best way we can – we are driven by what suits you.
