Counselling

Counselling*

Our counselling sessions are informal and there is no diagnosis. We simply provide an opportunity for the young guy to talk through his issues with qualified counsellor, and together they work out ideas on how to make life better. Learn more here.

Menslink's New Remote Video Counselling Trial: Expanding Support to Regional NSW*

Menslink is committed to providing free counselling to young men in Canberra and its surrounding regions. While our face-to-face services in Canberra and it surrounds have been vital, we understand the challenges regional guys face with transportation and time.

We’re excited to launch a trial of our new Remote Video Counselling Service, bringing support directly to you if you live in Yass Valley Council, Snowy Valleys Council, Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council or Snowy Monaro Regional Council.

Yes – I’ll take part of the Remote Video Counselling trial

No – I’ll attend counselling sessions in person in Canberra

Please note: Since COVID we have had an increased number of last minute cancellations & ‘no-shows’. Even though we are a ‘no-cost’ service, it costs a lot of money to run our organisation. Late cancellations and no-shows waste our counsellors’ time and prevent services being offered to other young guys who need support.

We are therefore managing late cancellations and no-shows more closely, and this may impact clients’ ability to access our services where we feel there is a lack of commitment to attending. If you want to discuss this policy, please give us a call.

Mentoring

Mentoring eligiblity – does the young guy live with, or have regular contact with, his Dad or step-Dad?*

Yes

No

Not interested in the Mentoring Program

Mentoring*

Our Mentoring Program pairs up a young guy with a volunteer mentor for a 2 year period. This program is for young men who do not have a consistent male role model. The young guy and mentor catch up about once every two weeks and do lots of fun stuff. Our volunteers are just regular guys with lots of life experience. Learn more here.

Yes, I want to apply for the Mentoring Program

No, I don’t want to apply for the Mentoring Program

Side-By-Side Mentoring*

This program is for those who already have a male role model in their life, but would like to improve their connection with this person. It is an 8-week program based during a school term, that helps both the young fella and their role model build a stronger connection. Learn more here.
