Free counselling with Mandala

We’ve all been doing it tough lately, so it’s important that we make sure we look after our mental health. Unfortunately, many counselling services can prove to hurt the hip pocket, and most of us really don’t need another bill to pay. This is particularly true for vulnerable groups who can experience compounding disadvantage. This is where Mandala Community Counselling can help. Based in Ultimo, Mandala is an inclusive local not-for-profit counselling service that provides affordable professional ongoing counselling services, free to those most in need.

Mandala’s vision is ‘to alleviate distress and build resilience in vulnerable people. Mandala does this to maximise positive life outcomes and to prevent psychological damage to future generations’.
