YOUnique has a mental health service that collaborates with our practitioners to ensure holistic care is delivered to all our clientele. This is initially provided through our Complimentary Wellness consult. Our Wellness Care Coordinator and resident counsellor meets you to ensure your health concerns and goals are heard and incorporated into your tailored health plan.

With over ten years of experience in the mental health sector and a Masters in counselling, our experienced counsellor has a special interest in addressing chronic pain and psychological issues. If you are suffering from the intense stress associated with a chronic pain condition, or are just looking for a warm accepting space to receive help with life’s unexpected challenges, our wellness coordinator/ counsellor is here for you!

What to expect in your first and subsequent sessions?

The wellness consult is designed to be a casual introductory chat where we take the time to listen to your wants and needs. Essentially, at YOUnique, we care about YOU! We want to get to know the person beyond the health challenges. You then move into the initial counseling session based upon your mental health needs, our counselor will take the time to hear your story and utilise a wide array of therapeutic techniques to assist you in overcoming your struggles.

In subsequent sessions, she will continue to work with you one-on-one using a tailored eclectic approach to help improve your mental skills and emotional regulation abilities. These will help you take key steps of personal growth to overcome challenges and lifestyle obstacles.
