How it started:

Golden Plains Counselling and Social Support: It all began with a simple idea fueled by a deep passion. A passion for helping people live better lives ! I was driven by a vision to inspire others to live better lives, knowing this is possible.  This all started in the 90's, over 20 years ago !!

I began seeking out ways in which I could contribute to positive social change, increasing awareness, community connections and psychoeducation.  Inspiring hope and strategies that can last a lifetime.  As a Social Worker who had made a commitment in the 90's !  This has only evolved in me over time, bringing to life 'Golden Plains Counselling and Social Support'.  GPCSS offers practical 'hands on' support as well as Mental Health and Psychological clinical expertise. 

As a small business, we pride ourselves on personal attention and dedication to detail. Our approach is rooted in quality and integrity, ensuring that everything we do reflects our commitment to the individual and their unique needs.
