We offer face-to-face counselling appointments at two locations in Melbourne's Inner North with Jaz.

• Monday's at Fitzroy North: Located on Brunswick Street, accessible via the 11 tram, with free street parking available out front.

• Wednesday's at Brunswick: Located on Sydney Road near Blyth Street, accessible via the 19 tram, free street parking nearby, and wheelchair accessible.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before coming to counselling. In fact, many people start when they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what they need - just knowing that something isn’t quite right. Some signs you might be ready:

• You’re tired of carrying something alone

• Have something specific you have experienced

• You’re curious about understanding yourself more deeply

• You’re struggling with specific challenges (grief, trauma, relationships, identity, etc.)

• You’re noticing patterns you want to shift

• You’re simply wanting support and a safe space to unpack or talk things out.

Starting counselling doesn’t mean you’re broken, it means you’re ready to explore, heal, and grow. We go at your pace, you don’t need to have the right words, and bringing all the messiness is encouraged. Just showing up for yourself is a great first step.

Yes, the Sydney Road location in Brunswick is wheelchair accessible with the Brunswick Train Station 8-minutes from the office.

We encourage you to discuss any sensitivities and preferences for your appointments, inclusive of requesting your counsellor where a mask in session, low lighting, low noise, specific trigger items not be present, etc.

Both Onsite spaces have sound proofing, quieter spaces and rooms, as well as adjustable lighting.

Please reach out today to discuss your needs and we will work to accommodate them.
