Services
At Empatia Counselling, most sessions are offered online , so you can access support from the comfort of your own home—yes, even in your pyjamas (no judgement here!). All you need is a computer, phone, or tablet and a reliable internet connection. Sessions are held via Zoom, a secure and easy-to-use platform, allowing us to connect wherever you are in Australia, at a time that suits your schedule.
​
We also offer Walk and Talk Therapy locally in Wollongong, NSW—a gentle alternative to traditional counselling that combines movement, nature, and meaningful conversation. As well as In home counselling in some circumstances.
​
Sessions are 50 - 60 minutes long and available for adults aged 18 and over. Most clients choose to meet weekly or fortnightly, but we’ll discuss your needs together and find a rhythm that works best for you.
Online Counselling
Online counselling offers a safe and confidential space to explore what’s on your mind, all from the comfort of your own home. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just need someone to talk to, online sessions provide the same compassionate, support as in-person counselling—without the need to travel. All you need is a quiet space and a secure internet connection.
​
Ideal for busy schedules, rural clients, parents at home, or anyone who feels more at ease in familiar surroundings.
Walk & Talk Therapy
Walk and Talk Therapy takes counselling outdoors, combining gentle movement with supportive conversation as we walk along the beautiful beaches and coastal paths of Wollongong. This option is perfect if you find it easier to talk while walking, prefer being in nature, or feel more comfortable outside a traditional therapy setting.
​
The rhythm of walking, the fresh air, and the calming sound of the ocean can help ease anxiety, lift mood, and support a deeper sense of connection—with yourself and your surroundings.
In-Home Counselling
In-home counselling is a gentle, accessible option for individuals who may find it difficult to attend appointments due to mobility challenges, chronic illness, disability, or social anxiety. We bring the support to you, offering safe, confidential sessions in the comfort of your own space.
​
This service allows you to receive the care you need without the added stress of travel, unfamiliar environments, or sensory overload—ideal for those who feel most at ease at home.
