Caring for the Individual
At Abbwell Counselling Services, we believe that Counselling is a joint process between our professional counsellor and you, the client/person in therapy. We offer traditional office-based talk therapy, or therapy in conjunction with Equine Assisted Therapy in the Bundaberg and surrounding areas.
The goal of therapy is to inspire change in the individual, or simply improve their quality of life. Most often, people seek the assistance of a Counsellor to help them with issues in life that are too hard for them to face or manage alone.
A major goal of our therapy sessions is to help people overcome hurdles to their well-being. Therapy is designed to increase positive feelings, such as compassion and self-esteem. You can also learn additional “life” skills for handling difficult situations, making healthy decisions, and reaching goals.
Some of the services we offer include:
-
- Individual Therapy – assisting you to work through your inner thoughts and beliefs, giving you the tools to create a fulfilling and meaningful life.
- Couples Therapy – assisting couples to improve some / all aspects of their relationship, including their communications skills, feelings of intimacy and expressions of affection.
- Teen Counselling – assisting teenagers during this very challenging period of their life, discussing issues relating to the physical, moral, sexual and social development.
- Youth Counselling – specialising in youth and child counselling, dealing with issues relating to family dysfunction / environment, behavioural issues and more.
Therapy can help treat mental, emotional, physical, and behavioral issues such as Abuse, Addiction, Anger, Anxiety and Stress, Autism and ADHD, Depression and Sexuality
Abbwell Counselling Services for Families
Family Therapy is a type of psychotherapy designed to identify family patterns of behaviour that may contribute to a behaviour disorder or a mental illness in members of that family structure, and help them to break those habits. Family therapy involves discussion and problem-solving sessions with the family. These sessions may be conducted as a group, in couples or on a one-on-one basis if required. The goal of family therapy is to identify the underlying issues that cause disfunction within the family structure, strengthen communication and improve interpersonal relationships.
Family therapy can employ techniques and exercises from cognitive therapy, behavior therapy, interpersonal therapy, or other types of individual therapy. Behavioural and emotional issues in children are a common reason why families visit a family therapist. A child’s problems do do exist in isolation or a vacuum, they will occur and need to be addressed in the context of the family.
Nearly all families deal with some form of dysfunction at one time or another, yet most families will retain or regain a sense of wholeness and happiness. Family therapy offers families a way to do this and a way to develop and maintain strategies to remain a healthy and functional unit.
We aim to help our clients to establish and maintain positive family relationships, assist them to understand and meet the welfare and development needs of their children in the family context, and help them to prevent any further relationship stress. We want to assist you to manage any issues that may arise from personal or relationship changes with our major goal being to ensure the best interests of any children effected are considered paramount.
We offer traditional office based talk therapy or can combine therapy with Equine Assisted Therapy or a Family retreat in the great Australian outdoors. Talk to us today to discuss options.

Counselling
Andrew is a calming, empathetic and supportive counsellor. He is very genuine and puts in a lot of effort helping me to find and work towards solutions for various issues.
When there are no words, being around the horses and other animals really helps. It is nice to be in a peaceful, non-threatening environment in the countryside for counselling.
Thank you to all the team from the Abbwell Group.

Strength to strength 🖖🏻
I’ve been a client of Andrew and his team for a little while now and my message to those considering Equine Assisted Therapy is that this modality changed my life.
The mere presence at the farm is almost meditative.
On top of this, the animals (horses, donkeys, goats, sheep and more) seem to ‘size you up’ in terms of your needs and character before you’re even aware of them.
I have fallen big time for almost all the Equine team – the ‘understanding, compassion, empathy and knowing’ the animals display (mainly with their eyes) around me is something I will never forget nor take for granted 🙏
Ardie, Storm and China have taken me from a person of extremes (cold as ice implosion v volcanic eruption) to a somewhat more balanced persona, although I’m very much still a work in progress.
I trust Andrew and his team to help me progress further and anyone who has struggled with the challenges of clinical therapy setting should give this a go – I know after a very short time, that trust will develop for others too.
Don’t listen to the ‘haters’ who have probably never attended such therapy – make up your own mind – I’m sure you’ll be glad you did 🖖🏻

So very very grateful for Ben and the incredible support he is to our family as a whole. My child has come ahead in leaps and bounds thanks to our regular appointments with Ben.
I don’t know where we would be without Ben and the entire team at Abbwell.

Thank You Andrew
Over the past 2 months, my son has been seeing Andrew as part of his school based program. My sons experience with Andrew has been very positive. He has established a rapport and relationship with Andrew very quickly which has allowed him to trust Andrew and get the most out of his counselling sessions. He tells me how easy it is to talk to Andrew and how he helps him understand some of the things that are happening at home and at school. My son definitely feels very comfortable and safe while he is with Andrew and I am truly grateful for the help he has given my son as well as ways to help him deal with the issues of life.
