Kaat Darabiny – Mental Health and Alcohol and Other Drug Team

Our team will see people as young as 5 years old and upwards. We understand it is a big step in a person’s life to access counselling support and we aim to make the process as comfortable as we can with a service that is confidential and easy to access. We accept self-referrals and referrals from inside/outside of SWAMS. We have a team of counsellors you can choose from. A primary focus of counselling is to honour your dignity and integrity, work towards your goals, walk and talk alongside you.

As we are also an alcohol and other drugs service, we can support you with accessing places such as Next Step Detox and Residential Rehabilitation. We also see family members and people who have been impacted by another person’s alcohol and other drugs use.

Our team provides in-program support to other SWAMS teams so you can expect to see us at various activities, groups, schools and out and about in community.

Currently, our counsellors deliver services from the Bunbury, Collie, and Busselton clinics. To find our more or make an appointment with one of our counsellors please ring the SWAMS Bunbury clinic and ask to speak to the Mental Health Access team.
