What is
Counselling?

Counsellors at Sydney Women’s Counselling Centre (SWCC) all have professional qualifications, work with an integrative style and holistic approach. They may use a range of techniques that are drawn from different counselling models, which are utilized within the framework of the Social Determinants of Health and Trauma Informed Care.

At the commencement of counselling, you can expect your counsellor to discuss with you the counselling process, your goals and your readiness to make a commitment at this time in order to come to a plan that can meet your needs.

Counselling is a professional relationship between a counsellor and a client where the client is treated with respect and positive regard and where the client can freely discuss their concerns in a safe and confidential space.

Counselling is

​Counselling is a supportive and collaborative approach to help you explore and understand your life and circumstances. You can benefit by building social and support networks, achieving personal goals, reducing unwanted symptoms, and coping with significant events or traumas. Our team can help you with these challenges and guide you towards rebuilding your relationship with yourself and others.
