In Every Situation There Is A Way Forward

From time to time everyone faces situations in their lives when there appears to be no way forward.

Talking to someone who cares about your troubles and is trained to help you find the way through the situation is often all that is needed.

The Pathways counselors at South Perth Baptist Church are there to help you find that way. They have been professionally trained through the School of Social Work, Curtin University, the Baptist Counselling Service of WA or other professional bodies.

Everything you say to a Pathways counsellor is strictly confidential.

All Pathways counsellors have signed an oath of confidentiality. Information may be released only with the consent of the person receiving counselling except where there is a serious threat to someone or the commission of a serious crime.

Sessions are usually one hour long.

They may be weekly or fortnightly and the number of sessions is worked out between the counsellor and the client.

If you are unable to attend your session or need to postpone an appointment, 24 hours notice will be required so your counsellor can organise the time to help others. Less notice, unless there have been unforseen circumstances, will require a fee to be paid.

Our standard fees are available on inquiry to the office or your counsellor.

If this causes hardship another fee may be able to be negotiated with the counsellor.
