Services

Various counselling therapies including multicultural counselling, cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), solution-focused brief therapy, and the strength-based approach.

Multicultural counselling is a therapeutic approach that considers factors affecting minorities, including historical oppression, family relations and societal effects. It acknowledges that patients' backgrounds influence their perspectives and adapts the counsellor's role accordingly. This works on the understanding that factors such as race, ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic status, disabilities, health conditions, gender, sexual orientation and living conditions has a significant impact on a persons' mental health and influence their therapeutic experience.
