Stay safe today.

Severe storms are forecast across most of Victoria today. It’s important for landowners, particularly those in hilly and mountainous areas, to prepare for possible:
-Flash flooding
-Soil erosion
-Landslides associated with thunderstorms.

Constructing sediment traps and levee banks can help protect farm assets from debris that could flow into properties from floods. This can slow water flow, reduce erosion, and prevent sediment from entering farm dams and waterways.

MC Counselling is back and ready to support you from Monday, 12 January 2026

Whether you’re navigating addiction, struggling in relationships, managing your mental health, or looking for support around workplace well-being, help is here.

We also work with organisations through Employee Assistance Programs, supporting healthier people and stronger workplaces.

You don’t have to do this alone.
Support, clarity, and change start here.

MC Counselling — supporting individuals and workplaces to move forward.

This return marks the start of another year focused on meaningful conversations, practical support, and real progress for those who need it most.

As we move into 2026, MC Counselling is grounded in one clear commitment: providing thoughtful, modern, and deeply human support in a rapidly changing world. Our focus is on helping people navigate complexity with clarity, resilience, and compassion.

Our Focus for 2026

Client-led, personalised care
Every individual brings a unique story. In 2026, MC Counselling continues to centre therapy around your goals, values, and lived experience, ensuring sessions are practical, meaningful, and relevant to your life.

Supporting mental health in a digital age
From burnout and overwhelm to anxiety shaped by constant connectivity, we help clients develop healthier relationships with technology, boundaries that protect wellbeing, and skills that restore balance.

Trauma-aware and neuro-affirming practice
We work with an understanding that trauma and neurodiversity shape how people think, feel, and relate. Our approach is respectful, strengths-based, and focused on emotional safety and regulation.

Identity, purpose, and life transitions
Many people seek counselling not because something is “wrong,” but because life is shifting. Career changes, identity exploration, relationship transitions, and questions of meaning are central themes we support with care and clarity.

Building resilience for real life
Therapy at MC Counselling is not just about insight, but about practical tools. We focus on emotional regulation, stress resilience, and skills that clients can use outside the counselling room.

Ethical, balanced use of technology
While we embrace modern tools and flexible delivery options, we protect what matters most: confidentiality, trust, and the therapeutic relationship.

Looking Ahead

In 2026, MC Counselling remains a space to slow down, be understood, and move forward with intention. Our work is rooted in evidence-based practice, guided by empathy, and shaped around the realities of modern life.

Whether you are seeking support, clarity, or growth, MC Counselling is here to walk alongside you.

This Christmas, MC Counselling pauses to reflect on a year that has stretched hearts across the world. It has been a year marked by deep sorrow and shock, including acts of hatred such as the antisemitic shooting in Bondi, alongside many other global tragedies that have left individuals, families, and communities carrying heavy grief.

At the same time, this year has also revealed something enduring. In the face of fear and loss, people have shown extraordinary courage, compassion, and solidarity. We have witnessed communities coming together, voices speaking out against hatred, and countless quiet acts of care that rarely make headlines but change lives every day.

Christmas invites us to hold both truths at once. The pain is real and deserves to be acknowledged. So does the resilience that allows people to keep going, to reach for support, and to choose kindness even when the world feels overwhelming.

At MC Counselling, we are grateful to walk alongside those who have trusted us with their stories this year. Seeking support, offering empathy, and creating space for healing are acts of strength, especially in times like these.

As we move into the holiday season, we hold hope for safety, understanding, and peace. May this Christmas offer moments of rest, connection, and light, even if only in small ways. Wishing you a gentle and meaningful Christmas, and a new year guided by compassion and care.

Much love,

Returning to the same place for Christmas carries a quiet kind of magic. The streets look familiar, the air feels softer, and time seems to fold in on itself as memories meet the present. What once felt ordinary now feels grounding, like the world briefly pressing pause.

There’s comfort in knowing where the light falls in the afternoon, which door creaks, and how the evenings settle in. Traditions don’t need to be new to feel meaningful; sometimes their power comes from being repeated, year after year, unchanged and steady.

This season isn’t about chasing something different. It’s about noticing how you have changed while the place stayed the same, and letting that contrast feel like home.

Sometimes the greatest gift of Christmas is returning, remembering, and feeling rooted again.

In a world that’s always online, choosing to unplug is a powerful form of self-care. A digital detox isn’t about disconnecting from life—it’s about reconnecting with it. Unplugged holidays create space for deeper rest, clearer thinking, and more meaningful moments.

When notifications stop, presence begins. Mornings feel slower, conversations feel richer, and memories feel more real. Traveling without constant screen time allows you to fully experience new places, connect genuinely with people, and return home feeling refreshed instead of overstimulated.

Taking a break from digital noise helps reduce stress, improve sleep, and restore creativity. Sometimes the most valuable signal is the one you find within—no Wi‑Fi required.

Step away from the screen. Step into the moment.
