MAKE A REFERRAL TODAY
“

My counsellor was wonderful to talk with and helped me explore how I was feeling about various aspects of my life, but was never pushy – she just helped me learn by me talking.

“

My experience with Compass from the start was excellent and made me think there was light at the end of the tunnel. If it wasn’t for Compass I don’t think I would be feeling this way.

“

Compass and my counsellor have been amazing for me. I am truly grateful and I will never forget the genuine care and help from my counsellor.
