Legacy Counselling: A First Nations Commitment to Healing and Support

At Legacy Counselling, we are deeply committed to providing culturally safe and trauma-informed counselling services that honour the strength and resilience of First Nations people. As a First Nations-led service, we understand the profound impact of historical and intergenerational trauma, the complexities of identity, and the importance of reconnecting with culture to foster healing and wellbeing.

Our approach is grounded in cultural wisdom, respect, and the belief that healing happens best in connection—with self, with community, and with Country. We create safe spaces where individuals, families, and communities can explore their experiences, build resilience, and regain a sense of control over their lives

TRAUMA COUNSELLING 

Trauma affects not just individuals but families and entire communities. At Legacy Counselling, we offer culturally safe, non-judgmental, and strengths-based trauma counselling for those who have experienced personal, intergenerational, or systemic trauma. Our approach integrates:

  • Cultural healing practices alongside therapeutic interventions

  • A safe and confidential space to explore personal experiences without fear of judgment

  • A strengths-based perspective to help clients reclaim their identity and resilience

  • Support for trauma recovery through storytelling, narrative therapy, and connection to culture

We walk alongside clients as they navigate their healing journey, helping them regain control, build confidence, and reconnect with their sense of self.

HEALING TOGETHER OUR WAY

Healing is most powerful when done together. Our Healing Together Our Way Group provides a culturally guided space where First Nations people can share their stories, learn from each other, and strengthen connections. This group offers:

  • A culturally safe environment for sharing personal experiences without shame

  • Strength-based healing practices that honour cultural traditions and storytelling

  • Opportunities for self-reflection, empowerment, and community support

  • Connection to cultural knowledge holders and Elders who guide the process

By bringing people together in a shared healing journey, we foster resilience, belonging, and self-determination.

PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP COUNSELLING 

Relationships—whether with partners, family, or community—are central to our wellbeing. Our Personal Relationship Counselling provides:

  • A culturally safe space to explore relationship challenges

  • Guidance for individuals and couples in building healthier connections

  • Respectful, non-judgmental counselling that supports open and honest communication

  • Conflict resolution strategies that are grounded in cultural values

We support clients in navigating their relationships with understanding, cultural sensitivity, and deep listening, helping them build stronger, healthier connections.

07

CULTURAL SUPERVISION

Professionals working with First Nations clients must continually reflect on their practice to ensure it is culturally safe, ethical, and effective. Our Cultural Supervision provides:

  • Guidance for non-Indigenous professionals in working respectfully with First Nations clients

  • Reflective practice for First Nations workers to navigate workplace challenges

  • Support in addressing unconscious bias, cultural safety, and decolonised approaches

  • Mentorship to strengthen cultural responsiveness in clinical and community settings

Through cultural supervision, we help professionals build their capacity to provide safe, ethical, and culturally respectful services.

NDIS SUPPORTS

We provide culturally responsive NDIS supports to First Nations individuals living with disabilities, ensuring they receive the care and services that align with their cultural values and needs. Our support includes:

  • Advocacy and guidance in accessing NDIS plans and funding

  • Support coordination to connect individuals with culturally safe services

  • Therapeutic and counselling supports to promote emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing

  • Empowering individuals to live independently while staying connected to their culture and community

We ensure that NDIS participants are supported in ways that honour their dignity, autonomy, and cultural identity.

MENS RELATIONSHIP COUNSELLING 

Men who have used violence often carry deep personal and intergenerational trauma. Our approach to Men’s Domestic Violence Counselling is based on accountability, healing, and cultural reconnection, ensuring that men can:

  • Understand the impact of their actions and take responsibility for change

  • Explore their own trauma and how it contributes to destructive behaviours

  • Develop healthier coping strategies that align with cultural values

  • Reconnect with traditional cultural teachings that emphasize respect, kinship, and non-violence

We work with men to break cycles of violence and reclaim their role as strong, respectful leaders within their families and communities.

06

BUSINESS MENTORING 

Strong, sustainable businesses require leadership that is grounded in both cultural and professional knowledge. Our Business Mentoring supports First Nations professionals, entrepreneurs, and business owners by offering:

  • Leadership development tailored to First Nations ways of knowing and doing

  • Guidance on culturally aligned business practices

  • Strategies for sustainable growth and self-determination

  • Mentorship from experienced First Nations leaders

We help First Nations professionals thrive in business while staying true to their cultural values

08

EMPLOYEE ASSISTANCE  PROGRAM  (EAP)

We understand that First Nations employees often face unique challenges in the workplace, including cultural load, systemic barriers, and the need for culturally safe support. BilaEmpower partenership (EAP) is designed to provide confidential, culturally responsive counselling and support services that empower First Nations staff to maintain their wellbeing, resilience, and professional success.

Culturally Safe Counselling: Access to First Nations practitioners who understand the complexities of working within mainstream systems.
Support for Workplace Challenges: Guidance on navigating cultural load, racism, discrimination, and professional stressors.
By being a partner of a First Nations-led EAP, we ensure that First Nations employees receive the care, support, and advocacy they need to thrive in the workplace while maintaining their cultural identity and wellbeing.

Legacy Counselling: Walking the Healing Journey Together

At Legacy Counselling, we honour the strength, resilience, and stories of our people. Our work is more than just counselling—it is about reconnecting, healing, and empowering individuals, families, and communities in ways that are deeply rooted in First Nations ways of being, knowing, and doing.

We are here to walk alongside you on your healing journey—strong in culture, strong in self, and strong together.
