For those who prefer straight talk therapy, Able Art Therapy can provide direct [talk] counselling as short-term, early intervention support for people experiencing mild to moderate distress or life challenges. This service sits within a stepped care framework and focuses on strengthening coping skills, emotional wellbeing, and day-to-day functioning.

​

Sessions offer a supportive, non-clinical space to explore current concerns, develop practical strategies, and build resilience. Support is goal-oriented, time-limited, and tailored to individual needs.

​

Counselling may support people experiencing:

• stress, anxiety, or low mood

• adjustment to life changes or transitions

• relationship or work-related challenges

• early signs of emotional distress

• increased vulnerability without acute risk​

 

Our counselling is trauma-aware, person-centred, and strengths-based, and may draw on approaches such as psychoeducation, CBT-informed strategies, mindfulness, and emotional regulation skills, where appropriate. Where a person’s needs extend beyond the scope of this service, referrals and pathways to more intensive or specialised care are discussed collaboratively, in line with NSW Health guidelines.
