• All social workers are Accredited Mental Health Social Workers (AMHSW).
• All counsellors hold master’s degrees in counselling and are registered with PACFA, ACA, or CCAA.

How does Bridges stand out from similar counselling services?

Personalised Intake Process: When you call us, you’ll speak with a Practice Manager trained in counselling. We offer free 15-minute consultations to match you with the best fit from our diverse team.

Embedded Values: Our therapists are deeply principled, genuinely compassionate, non-judgmental, and outcome-focused – grounded in the Christian worldview that informs our practice.

What does the “Christian” aspect of your service mean?

We understand Christian culture deeply. Many of us have served in church leadership roles. All of our therapists love God, rely on his Word, and seek to reflect the wisdom and grace of Jesus with our clients. Read more at Christian Counselling.

Can I trust your “Christian” background won’t put attending clients off?

Yes. We fully respect and embrace diversity – cultural, religious, and personal. Just as Jesus embraced all who sought help, so we also create a welcoming, non-judgmental space for all.
