How it works
Getting support from PSO
-
Reach out
Call, email, visit our office or fill in the form below. A health worker, teacher or another organisation can also refer you.
-
First conversation
A counsellor listens, understands what you are going through and explains the options available.
-
Your support plan
Together you decide the next steps — individual, group or family counselling, or a referral to another service.
-
Ongoing care
We check in on your progress and adjust support as needed.
Your privacy matters
What you share with our counsellors stays private. We only share information if there is a serious risk to your life or someone else’s, and whenever possible we talk with you first.
Referral support
If you need care we don’t provide — medical or psychiatric treatment, legal aid or protection — we help connect you with the right place.
Looking after yourself
Small steps that help
Talk to someone you trust
Sharing what you feel with a friend or family member can ease the load.
Keep a daily routine
Regular sleep, meals and activity give your mind steadiness.
Breathe slowly
Breathing in for four counts and out for six can calm your body when stress rises.
Move your body
A short walk or gentle stretching releases tension and lifts mood.
Go easy on alcohol
Alcohol and drugs may seem to help for a moment, but often make distress worse.
Ask for help early
You don’t need to wait for a crisis. Early support makes a real difference.
Request support
Ask us to contact you
Share only what you are comfortable with. A member of our team will get back to you.
Please don’t use this form in an emergency — call 1166 or 100.
