Mental Health Counselling
Momentum is a mental health counselling agency, supporting clients who would otherwise be unable to access counselling because of long wait lists or financial barriers. We are a non profit, registered charity led by a team of passionate mental health advocates who collaborate to provide Solution Focused Therapy.
