Youth Counselling

Youth counsellors work exclusively with the young person or where appropriate in partnership with their family and a Youth Focus Family Counsellor.  Youth Focus provides a friendly, confidential and professional service for young people who are in need of counselling and support.

Our Counsellors are trained professionals with the skills necessary to assist young people in identifying coping strategies to deal with issues associated with suicide, depression and self-harm.  Youth counselling appointments are free of charge and available at our office, or on an outreach basis – where Counsellors meet with clients at their school or at a convenient location, e.g. a community centre, a local café or park.

Counsellors will assist young people to understand the challenges they are currently facing, help individuals to develop practical life skills and identify realistic solutions for issues such as:

Communication Physical or sexual abuse Family conflict Relationship issues Problem solving

Grief and loss Understanding and awareness Anger management Domestic violence Family breakdown

If you are a young person seeking support for any of these issues or if you know of someone who may need some help please call Youth Focus on 6266 4333.
