UnitingCare Counselling Services assist people during periods of crisis and interpersonal and family relationship difficulties. They support people struggling with mental illness or addictions, enabling those assisted to deal more confidently with the issue at hand, as well as learning new and more constructive coping behaviours. Services build on the inherent strengths of the individual, encouraging them to develop new skills and a greater belief in their own capacity to manage their own lives and their relationships with those they love.
