What is Adult & Relationship Counselling?
Relationships can be both challenging and rewarding, forming a significant part of our lives. As adults, we need to adapt and grow with the evolving dynamics of our relationships. These relationships encompass not only romantic partnerships but also connections with children, parents, grandparents, extended family, friends, and even our children’s friends. Given their complexity, it’s natural to encounter roadblocks along the way.
At Drummond Street Services, we offer a range of support and counselling services to help you navigate the complexities of various relationships, ensuring you develop healthy and fulfilling connections.
Our Adult & Relationship Counselling Services include:
- Community Support Programs: Available at our centre, Early Childhood Centres, Maternal & Child Health Centres, schools, and other community locations. These programs aim to provide support across diverse community settings.
- Family Intake, Information Referral, and Brief Support Service: A combined phone and face-to-face service for those concerned about their own or a family member’s emotional and mental well-being, including issues affecting children and teenagers.
- Intensive Family Support and Counselling Services: These services cater to the entire family and may include case management, child and adolescent counselling, family-based counselling, and therapy for couples. We also offer specialist family and parenting support to aid recovery and foster community connections.
Relationship Counselling Services
Our relationship counselling services are available for individuals and couples. Life transitions such as the birth of a new baby, children starting school, relationship breakdowns, forming new relationships and stepfamilies, retirement, menopause, or the death of a family member can make us feel vulnerable.
Relationship counselling focuses on understanding and managing differences and breaking patterns of distress. We help you build the skills needed for a healthy, satisfying, and long-lasting connection with your spouse, partner, parent, or child.
Ready Steady Family Program
Ready Steady Family is a counselling and support service available at no cost or a small fee (depending on your income). This program is designed for parents, families, couples, and individuals experiencing stress due to pregnancy or a new baby.
Through Ready Steady Family, we educate couples on nurturing their relationships while ensuring their children are safe and supported. Our services include:
- Establishing healthy routines and foundations for nutrition and activities
- Supporting mental health and happiness for new parents
- Teaching children optimism and coping skills as they grow
- Assisting with transitions to childcare, kindergarten, and school
Who Can Benefit from Our Services?
