This counselling service is designed to be accessed by people who are feeling stuck or challenged by day to day issues, and are looking for prompt mental health support that is focussed to meet their unique needs. 

 

The Low Cost Counselling Program (LCCP) frequently has no waitlist. You don’t need a referral from a GP, and you don’t need a medicare plan (for more info, please check our FAQ page). Each session is $40, from your first session with the counsellor to your last. 

 

The LCCP is delivered by a team of qualified provisional counsellors and volunteer counsellors. 

 

A provisional counsellor is a person who has completed the academic component of their Bachelors or Masters degree in counselling, and needs to complete a large number of hours working with clients before receiving their final certificate. They are just like a fully registered counsellor with less client time under their belt and many of them have years of experience. 

 

A volunteer counsellor is one that has completed all training criteria and gives some of their client time to the community at a low rate.
