WOMEN'S COUNSELLING & SUPPORT SERVICES

Picture
EDON Place – Women’s Counselling and Support services aims to support the safety and wellbeing needs of clients through a variety of different approaches within a case management framework. Counselling is a therapeutic process that provides a safe and empathic environment for clients to express their feelings and be supported to understand and mange identified emotions, behaviours, and interpersonal relationships with more clarity and purpose. Different counselling approaches and techniques can be used depending upon the target group and the nature and complexity of a person’s identified needs.
Counselling may assist a person to cope with challenges and make positive changes in their life where necessary. This will include practical assistance where required. Counselling may also help clients come to terms with a difficult situation, asses their options and move forward with increased resilience. Ultimately, counselling aims to reduce a client confusion, distress, and conflict in the immediate and long term.

EDON Place provides domestic and/or family violence counselling and practical support in the context of a case management plan to clients experiencing, or who have experienced, domestic and family violence in the Bundaberg region.

Domestic violence counselling can take several forms but is primarily a discussion-based intervention between a client and an appropriately qualified and/or skilled domestic and family violence counsellor/support officer. The counselling and support provided is respectful and confidential and helps to deal with specific risks, cope with crisis, plan for their safety and/or develop strategies to enhance their safety and wellbeing. The intervention prioritises client safety and need for protection.

The domestic and/or family violence counselling and support takes place on a one-on-one basis or in a group setting over a number of sessions and offer clients an objective perspective of their situation and needs, enabling them to gain insights, consider their options and identify strategies to assist in managing their particular situation and plan for their safety and wellbeing. The intervention is provided at times of change or crisis and involves talking with a support officer who will create options/conditions that will assist the
client to better understand or improve their circumstances. EDON Place aims to make the process safe, supportive, and empowering.
