Solid Hope Counselling 74 Worongary Road, Worongary, Queensland 4213

"Working with Rhys over the last few years has been one of the most rewarding and worthwhile decisions I've ever made. Regardless of whether you're looking for faith-centred counselling, or an alternative to traditional mental/emotional support, I cannot recommend Solid Hope Counselling highly enough. I started working with Rhys originally to help get a better understanding of how I work, and how to navigate both personal and professional challenges. Since then, he has also served as our pre-marital counsellor (highly recommended to anyone preparing for marriage). Working with Solid Hope has genuinely helped me better recognise and unpack situations and challenges; Oftentimes, allowing me to see things differently, or things that I'd otherwise been blind to. It's clear that on top of having extensive understandings of counselling and psychological principals, Rhys has a passion and gift for his field. In addition to his Masters in Counselling, Rhys manages to provide personable, nonjudgmental support that have always made me leave feeling better than I have arrived. He provides excellent discernment in asking questions and raising points to help better understand situations, without making you feel uncomfortable, shameful or guilty. Even when navigating challenging or 'weighty' topics, I've always found Rhys to know when to press into something, and when to let it go. We'll often have a joke and laugh throughout sessions, which is also a nice 'break' from things and allows us to both enjoy the time together. Whilst there is often a stigma around counselling and psychology, I truly believe Rhys is equipped to help people in any situation or stage of life. I have done a combination of counselling and psychology over the last few years, and have often found my time with Rhys to be the most rewarding. Whilst I've experienced major benefits from both, I've often found counselling to be a bit more 'open' and great alternative to discuss different areas of life and navigate a healthy mindset. Having Gospel-Centred discussions and the ability to contextualize situations in a Biblical and God-honoring lens provides a 'special' level depth and fulfilment to the process. Whether I'm just needing to get something off my chest, work through a challenging scenario or just have someone to bounce ideas off of, I've always found sessions with Rhys to be rewarding, renewing and encouraging. I have recommended friends (both Christian and Non-Christian) to Rhys, and the feedback has been much the same. I would highly encourage anyone to book in with Rhys to see how he can help. My time working with Rhys and Solid Hope has genuinely helped me navigate life's complexity and I cannot thank him enough for his service and support. Plans fail when there is no counsel, but with many advisers they succeed. Provers 15:22"

"Fantastic experience. Very relatable and helpful. Highly recommended to anyone struggling with family or personal issues seeking support and strategies to overcome"

"Rhys from Solid Hope Counselling has a great way of helping people, sometimes making us notice small details that completely changes the whole picture. He's very professional, and we always have a great chat - no matter what curve balls I throw at him. I had a fantastic experience with him, cannot recommend him enough."

"I one of those people who thinks that there's no need for counselling if you're not suffering from depression. And wrong I was to think that! Counselling goes beyond dealing with depression, it helps you deal with the daily anxieties that life throws at you, see situation from another angle, understand the "whys" of your actions based on your childhood, what to do when having a chronic illness. Rhys helped me so much dealing with all that, I've overcome so much through our sessions. And even better always pointing to Jesus! I know that if I ever feel the need of a safe place to talk, Solid Hope is the place to go."
