About Us
Merrylands Counselling is a counselling practice based in western Sydney. We are a team of qualified psychologists and counsellors, headed by the Clinical Director, Colleen Hirst. We specialize in providing counselling to individuals, couples and families.
Our team are all fully accredited, experienced professionals, working within a strength-based framework, using evidenced based practice such as cognitive behavioural therapy, solution focused brief therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy.
We are aware that everyday life problems such as workplace stress, family and relationship matters, coping with illness or crisis can affect our quality of life. Past and present issues can get in the way of living well. Grief, guilt and regrets can cloud our ability to see the way forward. Anxiety, self doubt and fear can cripple our ability to think clearly.
Life can be very difficult. You don't have to face these difficulties alone.
Our team is made up of qualified health professionals who are committed to helping you through these difficulties. We offer excellence in care, and provide understanding, expertise and support to restore hope and well-being.
We are aware of the diverse needs of the community and maintain a focus on cultural sensitivity and awareness. Languages spoken at our centre include Arabic, Italian, Japanese and French.
As well as our counselling services, we also offer supervision, consultation and training for organisations.
During the year we run a variety of workshops at our centre, for both professionals and non-professionals.
