BCS offers a fee for service counselling program with a Registered Psychologist at our Chandler Street site. The service is open to all self-referrals and referrals from GP’s and other health and medical referrers. This service offers individual counselling and family and group-based therapy.

The counselling and therapy approaches will be tailored to the specific difficulties and situations being experienced by children, young people and their parents, and may incorporate a number of techniques and activities including: psycho-education (with parents); arts-based and play activities for building rapport, assessment and therapeutic intervention; formal psychological and other assessment as needed; cognitive based learning strategies; mindfulness training and relaxation training; discussion and structured problem solving with parents/guardians; formal reports as needed e.g., for referral to specialised services.
