Through counselling in a one-on-one situation, Beth felt safe to learn about puberty and body changes.
We work individually with people of all ages and abilities who seek support with sexuality and relationships. We also offer education and resources to family members and significant carers, to help them continue supporting away from the therapy room.
All SECCA clinicians are tertiary trained and have extensive experience in both sexuality and disability issues. Counselling is conducted on a one-to-one basis, enabling the clinician to deliver unique sessions that meet the particular learning style, needs, age and ability of each individual.
Counselling under an NDIS Plan
SECCA is NDIS registered and you can access counselling through your NDIS Plan. Counselling is offered under Capacity Building and Core Supports. Please talk with your Plan manager for advice.
Please complete the Referral form so we can arrange a quote for individual counselling sessions (a ‘Schedule of Supports’). A Service Agreement is signed when counselling begins.
Please be aware that SECCA does have a waitlist for its counselling services. Maybe your immediate need can be answered via one of our Resources, or through a phone conversation with one of our educators or counsellors?
Cancellation Policy
Clients are required to give 48 hours notice to cancel their appointment without financial penalty. Full fees apply without notice of cancellation.
Short Care Counselling
SECCA is able to offer some Short Care Counselling (three sessions) to people with a disability who are not eligible for a NDIS Plan, or who do not currently have counselling available in their Plan. During these sessions any further counselling needs will be assessed, and a recommendation for inclusion in your NDIS Plan can be made.
Make a Referral
All requests for counselling start with a Referral.
Anyone can make a Referral – the individual them self, a support worker or family member, or another service provider.
A medical referral is not required.
Referrals are reviewed when they arrive to ensure we are the right service provider for you, or if we can help in the immediate with resources or telephone support. Thereafter, referrals join our waitlist and you will be advised when a counselling spot becomes available. Thank you for your understanding.
