Mission Statement
At Havilah Social Work and Counselling Services, our mission is to provide a welcoming, compassionate, and evidence-based practice that fosters optimal physical, psychological, social, and spiritual well-being.
Guided by a variety of approaches and models, we empower individuals to heal, grow, and take ownership of their healing journey through practical case management, tailored therapeutic counselling and mental health coaching. We utilise a range of bio-psychosocial interventions that consider physical, psychological, and social factors to promote optimal health and well-being. We are dedicated to serving clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, including those supported by NDIS, WorkSafe, and TAC.
Rooted in Christian principles and ethical values, we envision expanding into the Havilah Trauma Recovery Centre, offering comprehensive services to support healing and recovery from trauma and life-altering events, creating lasting transformation and resilience.
‘Susan was one of the warmest and most caring therapists I’ve ever met. I met her when I was experiencing depressive symptoms and feeling very distressed. She built a beautiful therapeutic alliance with me and made me feel safe and heard. She knew exactly where I was emotionally, and I felt immense comfort knowing I wasn’t alone in my adversity. I absolutely recommend Susan’.
