Counselling

The Women’s Health Service acknowledges ‘wellness’ as being inclusive of the physical, emotional, environmental, psychological, spiritual and mental well being of women.

We recognise that women’s health issues can arise due to inequities for women within our culture, and therefore believe in women-centred approaches, which value women’s wisdom and support them in making their own informed health choices. 

Women seek counselling for many different reasons. The National Women’s Health Program has identified some contributing factors below:

Emotional and Mental Health Issues

Examples may include women experiencing depression, anxiety, eating disorders, the effects of trauma, relationship issues, drug and alcohol issues and cultural identity issues.

Women and Violence

Examples may include women experiencing or experienced domestic and family violence issues, sexual abuse, sexual assault and other forms of violence.

Women’s Sexual and Reproductive Issues

Examples may include women seeking pregnancy options Including terminations, menopause, sexuality concerns and sexual identity issues.
