More Information
You may be referred to a family relationship centre, mediator or other professional practitioner if our counsellor assesses that your needs could be better met through their help.
Lutheran Care’s counselling service offers professional support from trained counsellors. Our counsellors are able to work with different aspects of a person’s experience, including emotional wellbeing, spirituality and relationships.
The service is open to people of all ages and backgrounds.
Counsellors listen to individuals, couples or families and invite them to share problems before they become crises. They offer genuine care and support when facing difficulties without taking over.
Services include:
- Personal counselling for issues such as personal concerns, crisis, depression, guilt, fear, anger, loss and grief, abuse and domestic violence
- Preparation for marriage or commitment
- Relationship enrichment
- Marriage and relationship counselling
- Support through separation or divorce
- Assistance to families/parenting support
