Unlock Your Potential with Expert Addiction Counselling

At MC Counselling, led by the experienced and empathetic Mike Carroll, we specialise in overcoming the challenges of addiction, mental health, and relational conflicts through personalised therapeutic support. Located in Gippsland, Victoria, and available Australia-wide via Telehealth, our practice offers a compassionate approach to helping you live your best life.

My Philosophy: Redefining Recovery

Mike Carroll brings a unique perspective to addiction counselling. Rejecting traditional views that label addiction solely as a disease, Mike sees it as a condition influenced by environmental factors. This perspective empowers our clients, allowing them to overcome addiction without the fear of relapse. Our approach is about changing your relationship with addiction, focusing on strength and resilience rather than perpetual vulnerability.
