Counselling
Face-to-face Counselling
This service is offered by Arafmi for carers, family and friends of people with a mental health problem.
Counselling works in several ways:
• it provides a confidential and non-judgemental space to talk about your feelings and concerns with someone who cares.
• it helps put concerns into perspective
• it helps discover and explore needs and strengths
• it helps find a sense of meaning and self
• it helps with caring for yourself.
Counsellors are professionally trained to relate with, and empower you. They have a unique knowledge and experience in helping people with specific issues that carers of people with mental health problems face. Here is a piece, written by one of Arafmi's counsellors, that deals with 'Balance' in the caring role: The Quest for Balance
If you are a carer, relative or friend of a person with a mental illness and are over 18 years of age, you are eligible for this service.
Counselling appointments can be made by calling Arafmi on 3254 1881. Times available as follows:
