Counselling, also known as 'talk therapy', is a collaborative therapeutic practice with a trained professional.
Through using psychotherapeutic interventions, counselling attends to an individual's unique challenges of life. Counselling enhances a person's ability to respond effectively to their unique circumstances and has a range of psycho-social, health and well-being benefits.
The practice of counselling in Australia is governed by a strict code of ethics, and delivered by a trained, supervised and experienced individual. To see more - Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia's (PACFA) Code of Ethics.
