Counselling Appointment Inquiry
The Camp Kerry Counselling Team is a group of interdisciplinary therapists with expertise, experience and skill in helping individuals and families navigate the “upside-down world” of life-threatening illness, grief and loss. We offer compassionate spaces where people can freely express their individual experiences and find connection with others who have faced similar life challenges. We believe deeply in the healing power of a compassionate community that brings facilitators and participants together into a shared human experience of belonging, as we search for meaning in our losses and find the hope we need to move forward.
