Professional Counselling
One of our key services is professional counselling, provided by a team of counsellors qualified in counselling, social work and psychology.
The counselling service was launched in 2000, with a focus on LGBTQ+ clients and LGBTQ-related issues.
We work primarily with LGBTQ+ individuals, couples and families, including their non-LGBTQ+ family members and partners. We do this in a confidential and safe environment, including the Oogachaga office and/ or using secure online platforms.
