Private Counselling and Mediation

Excellence in Counselling and Mediation

Private counselling and mediation is all about you. Dr Charles Tant provides the personal touch that many counselling and mediation services don't have.

Risk Free Guarantee - First Telephone Session Free

At Private Counselling And Mediation we understand that the choice of counsellor is a very personal one. The right counsellor for one person is the wrong counsellor for another. With this in mind we offer our first telephone consultation on relationship counselling, family counselling, marital counselling or individual counselling session on a free, no obligation basis.

This allows you to commence counselling with Dr Tant without the risk that you have chosen the wrong person. It's our way of providing you with the peace of mind you would like when choosing a counsellor.

Why Choose Us?

Whether mediating or counselling Dr Tant offers professional, affordable, reliable, fast and accessible services.

Why choose us?

Professional

Dr Tant is in the unique position of having both a doctor of social work and a law degree. In the case of family disputes, it allows you to resolve many issues in one spot rather than having a legal professional do some things and a counsellor do others. It's what sets us apart from other counselling services. 

Dr Tant holds a PhD in Social work from Charles Sturt University and a graduate diploma of family dispute resolution from The Institute of Social Relations. He is a Family Dispute Resolution Practitioner accredited by the Attorney General's Department. He is also a mental health social worker and registered Medicare provider accredited by the Australian Association of Social Workers. Dr Tant has helped people for over ten years as a Senior Practitioner at Relationships SA. 

Reliable, fast and accessible

Private counselling and mediation is small, but smallness can have advantages as there is no juggling of large groups of clients and staff. Service is delivered promptly, flexibly and efficiently.

We offer counselling and mediation services to people from all sorts of backgrounds including:

• Individuals
• Couples, including same sex couples
• Parents and children
• Grandparents

We offer counselling and mediation services over a huge area that includes:

• The Barossa Valley, including Lyndoch, Tanunda, Nuriootpa and Angaston.
• The Northern Suburbs of Adelaide, including Gawler, Elizabeth and Salisbury.
• Anywhere in Australia because our counselling and mediation services can be conducted using any combination of face to face, telephone, Skype, Facebook and Email. 
  

Affordable

• Most of our services are free because Dr Tant is a registered Medicare provider who bulk bills.
  
• Some of our services are available at fees well below those recommended by the Australian Association of Social Workers.
• Many other counselling and mediation services offered by others are initially free, but then have escalating fees based on a means test.
