Carolyn’s Affordable Counselling was founded in 2013 as a more affordable option to help support the wellbeing and mental health of individuals, couples and families in the Caboolture and surrounding suburbs.
Carolyn’s early career was in the education system which involved helping special needs children. She then moved to customer service and progressed through to management. Carolyn’s interaction and support of people through her occupation led her to realise how expensive counselling support was in North Brisbane and how this was jeopardising and preventing people from getting help. Carolyn started volunteer counselling and this led her, in 2008, to pursue her qualification in counselling. Shortly after graduating in 2011 Carolyn joined the ACA and MHA and started establishing her business.
Since then Carolyn has counselled over 1000 clients providing them with support, knowledge, skills and strategies to resolve, change, adjust and overcome difficulties which in turn, has enhanced their quality of life.
Carolyn’s mission for making counselling more affordable for everyone has seen her offer half hour sessions, reduced fee for first session as well as pensioner discounts. Carolyn also considers financial hardship on a case to case basis.
