Service philosophy
At Goldfish Counselling, we believe that every individual and family is unique, deserving of respect, understanding, and genuine support.
Our philosophy is grounded in empathy, compassion, and a commitment to helping people thrive. Whether you’re navigating life changes, building stronger relationships, or exploring what it means to be neurodivergent.
​
We welcome clients from all backgrounds and walks of life. While we have a strong foundation in neurodiversity-affirming practice, our services also support anyone seeking personal growth, emotional regulation, or a deeper sense of connection in their lives and relationships.
Our Services
We provide counselling for children, teens, adults, and couples, welcoming both neurodivergent and neurotypical clients. Each service is thoughtfully tailored to meet your unique goals, strengths, and support needs.
Children’s Counselling
Our children’s counselling offers a holistic and collaborative approach to supporting both the child and their wider family system.
Through play, creativity, and connection, we create a safe space for children to explore emotions, build confidence, and develop self-understanding.
Each child’s sessions are individually tailored and can include input from home and school environments when helpful, ensuring consistency and support across settings.
Individual Counselling
Tailored one-on-one sessions designed to support anyone seeking personal growth, self-understanding, or emotional balance, including both neurodivergent and neurotypical clients.
Our approach is person-centred, strengths-based, and neuro-affirming, offering a safe and supportive space to explore challenges, build insight, and create meaningful change in your life.
Couples Counselling
Our couples sessions help partners deepen understanding, improve communication, and strengthen connection.
​
We bring a neurodiversity-affirming lens to relationship work while also supporting neurotypical couples navigating challenges, rebuilding trust, or growing through life transitions.
Each session is grounded in curiosity, respect, and collaboration—helping you create shared meaning and a relationship that feels safe and fulfilling for both partners.
Minecraft-Based Therapy

These sessions are scheduled under regular counselling but can be tailored for Minecraft-based therapy upon request.
