What is pregnancy support counselling?

 

Pregnancy support counselling is a non-directive form of counselling, based on the understanding that, in many situation, people can resolve their own problems without being provided with a solution.

This service involves undertaking a safe, confidential process that helps the woman explore concerns they have about a pregnancy.  This includes providing unbiased, evidence based information about options and services available for the women, where requested. 

As a Credentialed Mental Health and having completed the required training, Emily meets the eligibility criteria to provide this service. 

The pregnancy support counseling rebate only covers 3 sessions, although you may continue working with Emily as a private client, or referred again under another appropriate initiative.
