Counselling
We have one trainee counsellor available for free counselling. The trainee counsellor is fully supervised and has a lot of experience in many educational and support areas. She is in her second year of a Bachelor of Counselling at Weltec.
If you would like to have free counselling please phone and ask for Stephanie Brockman who is the Manager. Stephanie will discuss your needs with you and then if appropriate make an appointment with the counsellor.
Homeopathy
A great
opportunity to experience the benefits of homeopathy
Hello!
My name is Helena Tobin, and I’m passionate about making
homeopathy accessible to everyone. Homeopathy is all about the individual.
We believe in empowering you to make positive health decisions by
working with your individual requirements.
What
Can Homeopathy Do? Homeopathy is powerful system of natural medicine
which can treat a wide range of health issues, both physical and mental
including:
- Allergies
- PMT
- Menopause
- Skin
disorders
- Headache/migraine
- Menstrual
problems
- Depression
- Sleep
problems
- Stress
- Pregnancy
- Back
pain
- Childhood
illnesses
And many
more… in fact anything that prevents you from functioning at
your best. What’s Involved in Consulting a Homeopath? Because
homeopathy attempts to treat the ‘whole person’ the homeopath’s
interview is in-depth. The initial consultation is usually between
one to two hours and follow-ups are around half an hour. There are
no invasive examinations and you don’t need to stop any current
medication you may be on. Confidentiality is assured. I am aware that
my normal fee of $85 per first consultation is too much for a lot
of us. Therefore I have decided to work for a donation only for
my Women’s Centre clients.

Legal
Advice
The Women’s
Centre has free 30 minute consultations available during the first
week of each month. Phone the Centre and make an appointment.
The primary
objective of this consultation is to advise you if you have a legal
problem, and whether you need to see a solicitor. If you do need to
see a solicitor the lawyer can advise you about your eligibility for
Legal Aid and give you some idea of the legal procedures involved
in solving your particular problem.
If you don’t have a legal problem the lawyer is sure she can
give you some sound practical advice anyway.
The lawyer
can also advise you about facilities available to help you solve your
own problems, such as the Disputes Tribunal, Family Court Counselling
etc. All consultations are held in private and are strictly confidential.
Who
for? This service is being offered to all women.
When? and Where? During the first week of the month at the
offices of Thomas Dewar Sziranyi Letts, Level
2 Corner of Queens Drive and Margaret Street.
Appointments: Phone the Women’s Centre to make an appointment
on 569 2711.
