Counselling is a confidential relationship between the counsellor and the client - whether an individual, a couple or a family - experiencing problems in their lives. Counselling can help people to resolve issues and to find their own solutions.
Psychologists work with clients to clarify problems, set goals, choose interventions and evaluate progress while developing life skills or competencies to enable people to help themselves. When a family is involved, the process includes the whole family. Young children who may have difficulty with words, often use drawings or other activities to express their feelings and emotions.
Some of the issues about which you might consult a counsellor -
Relationships - if your relationship is not living up to your expectations
Family - for any or all members of a family with issues to resolve
Grief - assistance to cope with loss and readjustment
Personal - for times of personal crisis or dealing with such issues as anxiety, depression etc.
Family Violence - for women, men, children and extended family members involved in any aspect of family violence
Children - if there are family, school or individual problems
Divorce or separation - to deal with the pain and anger of separation
Centacare provides counselling to all members of the community at a number of locations throughout South West Queensland.
