Counsellors at WHC work from a feminist-based counselling model. Our non-judgmental approach recognizes that women’s feelings and problems are not signs of weakness or sickness, but are normal responses for women trying to cope with difficult and complicated lives.
Our counsellors work with each woman to develop a sense of her own power and ability to manage her life in healthy ways by helping her become aware of her emotions, strengths, needs and supports.
You will be seeing a qualified, experienced counsellor who is here to help you discover and understand the nature of your problems and to help you find new ways of dealing with your issues.
Some issues you may want to talk about include:
