Hello!

Can any of your lovely mums recommend a relationship and individual counselling service which a non-Australian citizen can make use of? I have a friend that is struggling to adapt to life in Australia after emigrating with her husband on a temporary work visa from South Africa. She has a young son and at 22, is missing her family and friends back home. They are struggling financially, do you have any recommendations for a relationship and counselling service?

  • I see this is an old question. How’s your friend doing now ?


  • Contact your local or nearest migrant resource center, they will be able to offer information and assistance to your friend. St Vincent de Paul Society may also be of assistance. Your friend is fortunate to have your friendship.


  • Does she have access to health centres? They will be able to find a counsellor for her.


  • tell her to look for immigrant groups that will help her adjust, she shouldn’t need relationship counselling unless this is suffering also. there should be a lot of support groups for her if she looks around


  • I hope everything worked out for you.


  • Maybe Centre Link could help Glad you are there to help he her as she must be feeling very down


  • Ask the local doctor as they can recommend her for free counselling Be there for her


  • I hope u can find ur friend some help. Sometimes a good friend and a chat is more helpful than a councilor
