About First Stop Counselling
First Stop Counselling is a private, adult counselling practice based in Ivanhoe. It provides an opportunity for people to stop and talk, perhaps for the first time, with a professional counsellor about problems and life challenges they are currently facing.
Stopping like this to address issues is time well spent, as it can assist people to gain more control and motivation in their lives. It need not be a difficult step, nor one that will automatically lead to a long counselling commitment.
First Stop Counselling offers
- Practical and professional counselling from a qualified social worker who has raised a family, cared for elderly parents and had varied life and work experience
- Your involvement in setting the scope and duration of the counselling and clear explanations about the counselling process
- A confidential, non judgemental and respectful approach based on social work professional ethics, values and practice standards
- A pleasant, quiet and accessible office environment
- Reasonable appointment waiting time and reasonable costs
- Assistance in exploring and accessing other avenues of assistance
