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, couple counselling or individual counselling session on a free, no obligation basis.

This allows you to commence counselling with Dr Tant or Ms Turner 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 Ms Turner and Dr Tant offer 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 as a senior counsellor and mediator for over fifteen years at Relationships SA. 

Reliable and fast- no long waiting lists here

Accessible Australia wide- distance is no barrier

• Face to face where you come to us or we come to you in the Barossa Valley (including Lyndoch, Tanunda, Nuriootpa and Angaston) and 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 Private Counselling and Mediation 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.

Elizabeth Children's Contact Service

There are several Children's Contact Centres in the suburbs of Adelaide and they provide excellent supervised time with parents where there is potential concern about conflict or safety. However, these centres often have long waiting periods due to high demand, limited hours and fixed locations.

When a parent is seeking to re-establish relationships with their children delays can have serious long term consequences both legally and developmentally.

Private Counselling and Mediation offers a mobile, child focused, professional and private Children’s Contact Service that assists parents in the northern suburbs of Adelaide and the Barossa to maintain there relationship with their child or children with whom they do not live.
