The Counselling Space: welcoming and inclusive
We acknowledge the Gumbaynggirr people as the traditional custodians of the land on which we live and work. We give our thanks and pay our respects to their elders past, present and future. We open our minds and hearts to understanding the impact of intergenerational trauma, and stand alongside our first nation peoples in working for redress.
We recognise our LGBTIQAP+ communities have unique health and wellbeing needs, and have been impacted by stigma and discrimination. Our services are inclusive, welcoming and culturally safe.
We are a neurodivergent led and welcoming practice. Rather than focusing on diagnoses as problems that need to be corrected, we are neuro-affirming and support a strengths-based and trauma-informed approach to individual assessment and intervention. Our work references societal barriers and discrimination as the issues that need to be addressed.
