A space where women can openly discuss and heal from the experiences of domestic and family violence.
Transforming mental healthcare
UR Counselling Service founder, Lee-Anne Smith, established this service out of a deep understanding of the challenges faced by survivors.
Her personal journey and professional expertise have revealed a significant need for services that offer relatability, authentic empathy, and a genuine partnership in therapy.
The naming of the service represents that this service is for you, a service where you belong, regardless of your story, race, religion or level of trauma. This service is for you to take ownership and regain control over your life while being fully supported and guided on your path to recovery and healing.
A modern approach
Lee-Anne is dedicated to providing a “No Shame Here” environment, where the harsh truths and behaviours that follow these experiences, can be openly expressed and understood.
Expertise in countertransference ensures that your story remains uniquely yours, and each session is wholly centred on your needs and experiences.
UR Counselling Service is here to guide and support you to navigate your unique recovery and healing journey. The first steps are to achieve a safe space within yourself. You may not know it yet, but this space alone is transformational.
Lee-Anne’s journey serves as living proof that healing after domestic and family violence is achievable. Survivors have the capacity to learn, grow, and lead fulfilling lives, free from violence.
The UR Counselling Service experience will enable you to move from a past/hopeless state to a present/hopeful, and authentic state.
Inclusive Culturally Safe Space
UR Counselling Service is a proud, culturally competent practice that approaches every session with the utmost respect, ensuring a non-judgemental atmosphere that fosters trust and openness. Every individual is welcome, every story will be heard and sharing of your culture is encouraged.
We stand by our commitment to provide a compassionate service that respects your story, worldview, and supports your path to empowerment.
