Counselling Services Ararat
If a residential program doesn’t suit your circumstances, Southbay Private also offers flexible, confidential counselling for people in Ararat, beyond Ballarat on the way to the South Australian border. Our facility is around 3 hours from Ararat via the Western Highway, so sessions can fit around work, study or family life.
Our counsellors work with people from Ararat on the issues underlying their drug or alcohol use, not just the symptoms, using a mix of individual sessions and, where appropriate, family involvement. Sessions are confidential and tailored to where you are in your recovery.
If you or someone you know in Ararat is considering counselling, our team can talk through what sessions involve, how often people typically attend, and whether it’s the right starting point for your situation.
What’s Included:
One-on-one counselling, in-person or via Zoom
A compassionate, confidential, and non-judgmental environment
Sessions tailored to your unique needs and goals
Flexible scheduling to accommodate your lifestyle
Southbay Private’s counselling services stand out because of our highly experienced team who understand addiction from both a professional and personal perspective. We’re committed to helping you take control of your recovery at your own pace, with the support you need every step of the way.
