“You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”
(Martin Luther King)
Our resources portal is an attempt to provide an immediate source of referral for those who may have an urgent need and are unable to make immediate contact with us here at NuVision Counselling. Some of these contacts provide a 24-hour 7-days a week service. Many of these websites offer substantial resources and support in times of crisis and can help while we organise an appointment for you at our rooms in Sydney. We want you to know that at NuVision Counselling we can offer urgent appointments as required so we encourage you to please call 0450 420 780 to organise.
