Much of what makes us unhappy is unconscious and not easily accessed by easy explanations. Bayside counsellors work with clients to explore aspects of their life and their feelings, and learn new ways of overcoming personal difficulties. Managing vulnerabilities, emotions and behaviours can make problems easier to understand.

Can I get a rebate? Counselling and psychotherapy are confidential services. You are entitled to a 20% rebate for counselling sessions when you submit your tax return if your annual out of pocket medical expenses (as an individual or family) are greater than $1500. Bayside Counselling fees are not eligible for Medicare rebates as Bayside is not a provider of Focused Psychological Strategies.
The counselling environment provides a safe and confidential space where an understanding of how to successfully meet the challenges in life is explored. Counselling is a relationship which is non-judgemental, confidential and respectful, and can enable you to examine the issues without concern of it impacting on family and friends.
You have a decent counsellor if you feel you can trust them to understand where you are coming from. This may take a couple of sessions. Some qualities to look for in a good counsellor is that of empathy, good listening ability, a non-judgmental approach with the ability to help you feel safe and relaxed enough to able you to tell your story.

Because they have worked and continue to work in the community with marginalised groups they are non judgemental and approach people as unique individuals.

An order was made at the Melbourne Magistrates Court that Dean produce the records within a week. He informed me that he would not do so unless he received payment. I spoke to my solicitor about this and I was informed that if the records are not produced
