Counselling This year, our Counselling Services assisted 4,939 clients. Our Counselling Services, which include our Caring for Carers Program, offers opportunities for individuals, couples and families to explore challenging aspects of their lives and relationships. This confidential process is undertaken by our highly skilled counsellors who assist clients to work through their issues and towards solutions. Genevieve’s Story “ Before using Interrelate, as a part of my job, I used to counsel people myself. It was quite hard to recognise that I needed some support. ” “ I have unique obstacles in my life which the everyday person can’t fully comprehend and it was a relief for me to find an environment where I feel safe enough to share my thoughts and feelings without the fear of ridicule. After my sessions I feel my brain is a bit less scrambled and I have more energy to tackle the issues which may pop up on my path. - Genevieve Buckingham 50 ”
