Desert Solace isn’t an emergency service and can’t always reply quickly.

What we help with

Here’s what people most often bring to us, in plain words. Each page says how we work with it, who on the team is the best fit, and what other help exists, including free options.

For me

Something you’re carrying yourself.

For us, as a couple

Together, or the partner who was hurt, on their own first.

  • Couples and infidelity

    The same fight on repeat, or the morning after you found the messages.

    Davis and Jasneet

  • For partners

    You found the messages, the statements, or the bottles.

For my teen or my family

A young person, or the family pressure around you.

Or start from what it feels like

Other things people bring

Our counsellors also work with grief, low mood, anger, self-esteem, work stress, life transitions, men’s issues, and LGBTQ+ and non-monogamous relationships, usually alongside the topics above. Ask in your free consultation and we’ll tell you honestly who fits.

What we don’t offer

We’re not an emergency service, and we don’t provide detox, residential treatment, psychiatric assessment or ADHD and autism diagnosis. If you need one of those, we’ll help you find it, and we can often keep working with you alongside it.

If you’re not safe right now, call or text 9‑8‑8, or call 9‑1‑1.

Not on the list, or hard to name

“I’m not sure what’s going on, but I’m struggling” is enough to start with. Book a free consultation and we’ll work it out together.

Next you’ll pick a time in Jane, our secure booking system. It asks for your name, email and phone.
