The purpose of the Presbyterian Counselling Service is to facilitate quality care and support to; local churches, individuals and families within or connected to the Presbyterian Church who are in need of professional counselling or similar services.
We aim to facilitate a process where both professional counselling and pastoral care can come together to provide healing and reconciliation for the hurt and distressed. Through referrals and financial subsidies, the Presbyterian Counselling Service removes the two main barriers many people face when in need of counselling. We provide access to high quality Christian Counsellors to all those in the Presbyterian community who are most vulnerable and who would otherwise be isolated from support.
Access to Counselling during COVID-19
During this period where COVID-19 is restricting face-to-face contact many of our counsellors are providing assistance via phone and video link. This service is currently only available to individuals and families within the Presbyterian Church in New South Wales.
Jericho Road is providing subsidies and many of our counsellors are reducing fees, to assist people access counselling during this time. Bulk billing is available for Telehealth with a referral from a GP. Counselling may assist people who are anxious, grieving, finding relationships difficult, dealing with depression and the like.
