Counselling

MSI Australia offers a range of professional, confidential, and non-judgmental counselling services focused on sexual and reproductive health. These services are available to individuals and couples, providing support and guidance to help people make informed decisions that are right for them.

The primary counselling services offered by MSI Australia include:

Pregnancy Options Counselling

This is a key service for individuals or couples facing an unplanned pregnancy. The counselling is "pro-choice" and "non-directive," meaning counsellors provide information and support for all available options without advocating for a particular choice. The options discussed typically include:

• Abortion: Providing a safe and confidential space to discuss feelings and concerns about this option.

• Adoption: Offering information and support for those considering placing a child for adoption.

• Parenting: Discussing the practical and emotional aspects of continuing with the pregnancy and raising a child.

Support-Based Counselling

This service is available to individuals who have made a decision about their pregnancy or have undergone a procedure and require emotional support. This can help with processing feelings of relief, grief, or any other emotions that may arise. These counselling sessions can be done either as a phone appointment or in person

Vasectomy Counselling

Counselling is available for individuals considering a vasectomy. It is a mandatory step for men aged 25-29 who do not have any biological children, ensuring they have a thorough understanding of the procedure and its implications.

Youth Counselling

For young people under the age of 16, counselling is a mandatory part of the process when accessing services at MSI Australia. This is to ensure they are fully informed and supported in their decision-making.

All counselling services at MSI Australia are provided by qualified professionals and can be accessed in-person at their clinics or via telehealth, making them accessible to people across Australia. The focus is always on the individual's well-being and respecting their autonomy in making personal health decisions.
