What We Do

Mandala Community Counselling Service works to address the psychological needs of some of those most in need.

Professional counsellors and psychologists volunteer their time so that clients who would not otherwise be able to access such services receive affordableongoing counselling.

These ongoing sessions help people to make positive changes in their lives.

No-one is excluded
Mandala’s counselling is available to the whole community, regardless of race, religion, or gender.
Service is limited only by need
People who are in a position to access counselling services in the private sector are referred to appropriate private practitioners, which ensures that Mandala’s services are available for those who have no other choice.
Free for anyone who does not have the means to pay
While the service is low-cost or free for people who are unable to afford counselling fees, you will be asked to make a donation when you are able.
Unlimited Sessions
While Medicare now pays for 6 or 12 sessions with a clinical psychologist if a general practitioner makes a diagnosis of a mental illness, these sessions are limited and most needy people are unable to access this service. Mandala’s commitment to addressing the needs of each individual means clients who require long-term counselling and psychotherapy are able to receive it.

About Our Counsellors

Professionally qualified psychologists and counsellors, many of whom have their own private practices, volunteer their time to Mandala.

Each counsellor is a member of an appropriate professional association. All counsellors attend compulsory fortnightly supervision with an experienced counsellor or psychologist. Clinical supervision is a vital component of Mandala’s commitment to providing a high quality service.
