A client-centered approach

A client-centered
approach

Drawing upon practice wisdom and research knowledge.

Our multidisciplinary team of counsellors provide client-centred services using a broad range of approaches. Bringing their extensive wisdom and research knowledge to bear, our counsellors collaborate to identify where you are and work with you on personal issues. Alcohol and other drugs, gambling, internet and gaming addiction, relationship issues, poor communication, aggression, and violence are just a few of the areas in which we provide support.

My Caraniche counsellor has been amazing. Every session just blows me away. I feel I owe her a lot, because she’s helped me see things more clearly. I’m excited about the future. I’m excited about leading a normal life.

“The drug and alcohol counselling I’m doing is changing everything around. I’m understanding myself more. I’m learning to deal with stuff I couldn’t deal with before”.
