Individual Counselling

The staff are available for one-on-one counselling sessions. Initially the client may need to talk about the issues affecting them and to do this with an experienced counsellor who is outside their family and circle of friends. When appropriate the counsellor may invite the client to explore their issues through one or more of the methods used here ­ through dreams, sandplay, journal writing, voice dialogue, emotional release processing etc.

Our staff are very experienced and are listed on the national register of the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia. The staff themselves have a strong commitment to their own inner work, endeavouring to be clear in their own lives, seeing this as an essential element in supporting others.

Contact the Portiuncula Centre for appointments and costs.

Individual Retreats

An individual may come and stay at our centre for a time ­ up to a week ­ for the opportunity of retreat time. We have two flats situated in the peaceful setting of our five acres. These are fully equipped (kitchen, beds, TV etc). The client brings their own sheets, towel, pillow slip, provides and cooks their own food. The cost for the flat is $30 per night.

Some people simply want their own space for retreat, but most appreciate the opportunity of having some one-on-one sessions with the staff. This support, along with time for solitude, meditation and relaxation can be extremely nourishing.
