About The Cottage

Back in 1997, three trained counsellors came together to provide counselling out of a room on the Northern Beaches. On the same premises as that room there was a little old cottage facing the possibility of demolition. A chance conversation led to an aha moment – the cottage was saved, and The Cottage Counselling Centre found both it’s first home, and it’s new name. From those humble beginnings 25 years ago, The Cottage now operates from 7 locations across the Northern Beaches, the North Shore, and Western Sydney. We have grown from 3 counsellors, to 16, and provide thousands of counselling sessions each year. We are proud of our history, and our growth – but we are most proud of having kept our ethos and our heart – to meet the needs of those who are struggling with compassionate, affordable and professional counselling.
