Welcome To Harris Counselling Family and Relationship Services, where you can expect a high quality service with highly experienced practitioners.
Safe
Safety in counselling is more than a promise — it’s the foundation that makes real therapeutic work possible. At Harris Counselling, we create environments where people can speak freely without fear of judgement, pressure or harm. Our practice is guided by clear ethical standards, trauma‑informed principles and a deep respect for each person’s pace and boundaries. We pay close attention to emotional, cultural and relational safety, ensuring that every session is held with care, consent and transparency. Clients can trust that their wellbeing is protected, their privacy is honoured and their experiences are met with steadiness and professionalism.
Inclusive
An inclusive counselling service is one where every person knows they belong, without needing to earn it or explain themselves. At Harris Counselling, inclusion is not an add‑on — it’s embedded in how we listen, how we speak and how we shape the therapeutic space. We honour the diversity of bodies, identities, cultures, families and relationships, and we work actively to ensure people from LGBTQIA+ communities, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and all marginalised groups feel genuinely welcomed and affirmed.
Trusted
A counselling service earns trust when people can feel, from the very first interaction, that they are safe, respected and genuinely understood. At Harris Counselling, our work is grounded in evidence‑based practice, clear ethical standards and more than 15 years of experience supporting individuals, couples and families through complex emotional and relational challenges.
Harris Counselling is fully accredited by the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW) and the International Centre for Emotion Focused Therapy ICEFT.
Harris Counselling fully supports the Melbourne Centre for EFT.
Harris Counselling honours the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples and Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters on which we live, learn and work. We pay deep respect to Elders past and present, and we recognise the strength and wisdom of emerging leaders who continue these living cultures.
We also affirm and celebrate the diversity of the LGBTQIA+ community. Harris Counselling is committed to creating an inclusive, safe and affirming environment for people of all sexualities, gender identities and expressions. Every person’s story, identity and relationship deserves dignity, respect and a place to belong.
​
We also acknowledge the central place of family, kinship and connection in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities—values that align closely with our commitment to supporting healthy, respectful and resilient relationships.
