Counselling
Counsellors are allied health professionals that support people to address and resolve issues and concerns in their lives, promoting mental health and wellbeing and enhancing self-understanding.
Using different types of evidence based therapies, including talk therapy, art therapy, animal assisted therapy, music, dance and drama therapy, counsellors can facilitate a variety of changes, including:
- change in perspective
- new insight
- new ways of thinking about situations
- new awareness of feelings
- enhanced capacity to tolerate and regulate feelings
- new actions or behaviours
- new decisions about life.
Counsellors work with children, young people, adults, couples, families and groups. Counsellors work in a variety of public and private settings and fields including health promotion and health care, community, family, youth, ageing, mental health and relationships.
