Counselling for Women

If you have any questions or would like further information, please get in touch.

Every woman's story is unique, and each chapter of life can bring new opportunities for growth and change.

Women seek counselling for many different reasons and at different stages of life. Some may be working through challenges or major life changes, while others may be looking for a space to reflect and focus on their own wellbeing.

Many women balance multiple responsibilities and expectations throughout their lives. Caring for others, managing relationships, navigating work and family commitments, adapting to changing roles, or responding to unexpected life events can sometimes leave little time to focus on your own needs and wellbeing.

Counselling offers an opportunity to explore what's important to you, develop greater self-understanding, and work towards meaningful and positive change. At Golden Pathways, you'll find a safe and supportive environment where your unique experiences, strengths, and goals are respected and valued.

Counselling provides an opportunity to explore your unique circumstances while recognising the personal, social, and cultural influences that may have shaped your experiences and wellbeing.

Many women seek counselling while navigating:

  • Caring responsibilities and changing family roles

  • Workplace pressures and competing demands

  • Difficult relationship experiences

  • Discrimination, sexual harassment, or gender-based challenges

  • Domestic and family violence

  • Health concerns or disability

  • Grief, loss, and significant life changes

  • Questions around identity, purpose, and direction

Counselling offers an opportunity to make sense of challenges, reconnect with your values, and explore what a meaningful and fulfilling future might look like for you.

We'll work together to build on your strengths, explore new possibilities, and take meaningful steps towards the next chapter of your life.

Canberra Walk and Talk

For women in Canberra, Walk and Talk Counselling offers an alternative to traditional counselling sessions. Meeting outdoors and walking side-by-side provides a relaxed and supportive environment to reflect, process emotions, and explore life's challenges while benefiting from gentle movement and connection with nature.

Walks take place in safe urban parkland locations and are tailored to your comfort, pace, and individual needs.

Many people find that walking alongside their counsellor feels less formal than talking face-to-face. The combination of conversation, movement, and time in nature can support emotional wellbeing, and create opportunities to see challenges from a different perspective. For some women, the outdoor environment can make it easier to talk openly, process difficult emotions, and feel more connected to the present moment.

Research also suggests that spending time in natural environments and engaging in gentle physical activity may help reduce stress and improve mood.

Whatever chapter of life you're navigating, Walk and Talk Counselling provides an opportunity to slow down, reflect, and move forward in a way that feels right for you.
