Counselling

Our commitment to doing all the good we can motivates us to care for people most in need in our community. We provide a listening ear, advice where appropriate and tools to equip you for the road ahead.

Helpful links

Wesley Mission is committed to standing by individuals and families, who are experiencing financial hardship and problem gambling, for the long-haul. Our work doesn’t stop there. We also offer intervention-based programs that help individuals and communities to better manage their finances.

And for those in crisis situations we provide immediate support services through Lifeline Sydney & Sutherland, as well as a range of online self-help resources

All our services employ ‘Trauma Informed Care Practice’ (TICP), which is endorsed by the Blue Knot Foundation (formerly Adults Surviving Child Abuse) and Mental Health Coordinating Council (MHCC).
