Cultural Diversity

Culturally Sensitive Counselling

At Marcela Counselling, we recognise that each person’s cultural background significantly shapes their identity, values, and life experiences. With extensive experience supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, refugees, and other culturally and linguistically diverse populations, we strive to provide a welcoming, respectful environment that honours every individual’s unique story.
