Individual Counselling
Counselling for individuals provides confidential, emotional support to individuals to promote wellbeing, resilience, and early intervention through professional, needs-based care.

Couples counselling provides confidential, short-term therapeutic support to partners seeking to strengthen communication, resolve conflict, and improve relational wellbeing through guided, professional intervention.

Child counselling offers confidential, age-appropriate support to children experiencing emotional, social, or behavioural challenges. It helps them develop coping skills, build resilience, and improve overall wellbeing through tailored, professional guidance.

Tele-counselling is the provision of professional counselling services delivered remotely via secure digital platforms (such as video conferencing or telephone). It enables clients to access confidential, timely psychological support regardless of location, while maintaining ethical standards, privacy, and therapeutic effectiveness comparable to in-person services.

In-Person Counselling – Professional Summary
In-person counselling is the provision of professional, face-to-face therapeutic support in a private setting. It allows for direct engagement, observation of non-verbal communication, and the development of a strong therapeutic relationship, supporting effective assessment, intervention, and client wellbeing.

Friendship Centre Counselling is dedicated to improving the lives of those in need. Our mission is to provide resources and support to all individuals that require it.

Refer anyone that needs support even if waiting for services we have enough counsellors to care for all.
Let those that you refer KNOW that you have done so.

We are completely self funded and we don't have any government financial support so if you would like to help us by contributing any money for our rent which is our only overhead we would be so grateful.
