What Clients Say

"Over a three month span, Five Star Wellbeing  helped me undergo a full, objective view of myself. He acted as a compassionate sounding board to help me delve deeply into my own personal story. Together we reached conclusions regarding what career would likely lead to success and fulfillment, which, 5 years later, I have not second guessed.

  Client

"Thank you for all your efforts with Matthew. He has become more settled, thoughtful and considerate." While this could all be put down to maturity, he has needed a calm, and respectful male role model to make these changes. It's been hard to change destructive and counter-productive habits. But he has achieved some goals that I would think he never previously dreamed of attaining."

Female Testimonial

"I started online counselling with Five Star Wellbeing before it was required by the state of the world. I appreciate the face-to-face interaction. It provides more of a personal connection that telephone counselling and I can still do it from the comfort of my own home. I can meet with a great counsellor easily over my lunch break or in the evening without worrying about traffic or parking. It is so convenient, I plan to continue even after life returns to normal."
