We provide support and counselling by means of generalist counselling, and also specialise in play therapy, emotional release counselling and dance therapy.

PLAY THERAPY involves the use of play to communicate with children and to help children learn to solve problems and change their negative behaviours. Sometimes it involves the entire family. Play is the primary way that children…• learn about the world • understand how different things work • express their thoughts and feelings • develop their physical skills • develop their mental skills • develop effective social skills and bonds.

EMOTIONAL RELEASE COUNSELLING (ERC) is a form of counselling that works holistically encompassing mind, body, emotions and sprit. ERC provides… a way of self exploration & development, help to change negative thought patterns, help to empower people giving them more self confidence and heal our emotions.

DANCE THERAPY is the use of movement for emotional, cognitive, social, behavioural and physical conditions. It is a form of expressive therapy. Dance therapy is based on the premise that the body and mind are interrelated, that the state of the body can affect mental and emotional wellbeing both positively and negatively.

Children often need assistance and professional support to work through significant emotional issues in their lives. Being a parent is difficult but Andersen’s Counselling & Therapy Service provides support to families during troubling times.

ACTS is based in Sugar Rd Maroochydore.  ACTS is now also outreaching to Nambour on Wednesdays!!!!!
