At Olaga Therapeutic Support, we will see you, and we will hear you, regardless of your background and circumstances. We work with children adolescents and adults by providing age appropriate, person-centered counselling and psychotherapy. We welcome all to our space and encourage those from multicultural, marginalised and minority communities to contact us.
I am Barbara, a social work therapist with over 20 years of extensive experience working with individuals and families, in diverse communities with children, adolescents, adults and families with complex and challenging needs. I support children to explore their unorganised feelings and behaviours, and be present with adults as you share your story.
We will listen and when invited, join you on your journey using holistic, evidence-based approaches. Allow us to walk along-side you on your journey.
