Frequently Asked Questions

Thinking about taking the next step?

Work takes up more of our lives than almost anything else — so when it’s not okay, nothing feels okay. These are some of the questions we hear most often from people considering workplace counselling. If something’s still on your mind, our friendly team is always just a phone call or email away.

We often get asked...:

Is workplace counselling confidential from my employer?

Absolutely. Your sessions are completely private and your employer has no involvement in or access to your counselling. You are attending as an individual, and what you discuss remains strictly between you and your psychologist in accordance with the APS Code of Ethics.

Not at all. There is no threshold for what constitutes a workplace issue worth addressing. If work is affecting your wellbeing, confidence or quality of life in any way, that’s reason enough to reach out. Many people find counselling most useful before things reach a crisis point.

Yes. We offer daytime, evening and Saturday appointments to make accessing support as easy as possible around your work commitments. Sessions are also available via phone or video call if attending in person isn’t practical.
