Services offered by Perspectives are professional and based on particular areas of competency of the practitioner (The term practitioner is used to cover the roles of supervisor, counsellor and therapist).

The areas of interest can be a particular client group (men, women, adults, older people) and the particular issues clients bring to counselling. Practitioners are encouraged to choose particular areas of work based on their interests. They are also encouraged to specialize in more than one area of interest.

There will be a variety of methods used in working with clients. Practitioners may offer clients the choice of method or may adopt a particular approach they believe will assist clients to achieve their goals for counselling.

Practitioners will have training, skills and knowledge in the areas they have chosen to work, they will know their limitations and when to refer clients to another service. It is important practitioners know the boundaries of the services they offer and be clear about this with clients in the initial phonecall, so clients can make informed choices about attending.
