Crossing Bridges

About Crossing Bridges

We Help you to build a bridge and get over it!

Crossing Bridges was created as a form of Christian outreach (in the Western Suburbs of Adelaide) to provide a local counselling service to individuals and families, in all their diversity and complexity, facing difficulties in their relational, emotional and spiritual well-being.

We seek to promote an ethos and framework within which we may examine ourselves and our relationships with others, whilst moving on towards emotional healing, reconcilliation and health.

A counsellor can be of real value when:

• You have been facing fighting, yelling or violence at school, home or work
• You seem to be always angry
• Your feelings about people you love are becoming numb, hard or distant
• Relationships are breaking down or are unhappy
• "Hopelessness" has deep meaning for you now, and you hurt when you think or talk about it
• You feel like you need help - but you're afraid of what that will happen if you ask for it
• Something really "bad" has happened, or is happening, to you
• You want to change things about your life

How we may be of help

Our Objectives are:

• To listen to you closely
• To help you listen to what others may be saying about you and to discern their truth, if any
• To help you get through this
• To help you prevent relationship breakdowns and separation
• To help you reduce risky and destructive behaviours
• To help you understand your emotions and to develop your centre of self-control.
• To help you build-up skills to manage conflict and anger
• To help you build-up your "sense of self" and your emotional health

We can also provide, when suitable, internet group chat and email communication services that may allow some clients to better express and discuss their needs and/or situation from the privacy of their own home.

Please make initial contact on the email listed.

If we can't help you we will refer you onto someone who can. The first consultation is always FREE.

Please note that we do not have any means to support physical needs or dependencies beyond our good counsel.

We provide our services to the North Western suburbs of Adelaide and generally like to meet in a public place such as a shopping centre or local cafe.

Our preferred venues are:
Port Adelaide Mall and Plaza
Port Adelaide cafes
Semaphore cafes
West Lakes Shopping Centre
