Services
Counselling and mental health supports can take various forms and it’s important to find what works for you. That’s why we offer a range of modalities.
While there can be significant overlap between counselling, talk therapy and coaching, each differs slightly in the practitioner’s methodology. The differences are outlined below. We also offer a free 15-minute consultation for you to get to know your practitioner, decide if therapy is right for you, and determine which modality suits you best.
For US and Canada based clients, please only book through the Coaching modality.
If you are unsure, please submit a contact form and we will reach out to you via email.
Counselling
Counselling is what most people think of when they think of psychology, and involves a talk-based system where evidence-based strategies are applied to support behavioural change
Talk Therapy
Talk therapy is a process where the main modality is talking to discover the concern and discuss potential causes for the issue(s) which may be more deeply rooted
Coaching
Coaching is a more active, practical and actionable process where the focus is on goal setting and strategising and includes more proactive support in helping to achieve those goals
Approaches
In therapy, there are a range of approaches that a professional can apply and tailor to suit you and your needs. The approaches we work with at AEC include:
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Solutions Focused Therapy (SFT)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Culturally sensitive and culture focussed therapy
Topics
Counselling, talk therapy and coaching can focus on various topics. We are a generalist service, which means we support people who need general support in any of the following*:
Anxiety
Depression
Isolation and loneliness
Culture Shock
Decision making
Homesickness
Work worries
Relationship concerns
*If you require support on a more specialised topic, such as alcohol and other drug dependance, we can offer referrals to specialist agencies
