what you can do

At Chanel de Waal Counselling, I believe in the power of connection, healing, and giving back. I believe mental health support should be accessible, and in certain cases, I offer pro bono sessions to those in need. I also encourage community involvement through

donations and awareness initiatives.

Below, you’ll find charities and organisations that focus on animal welfare, mental health, and community support. If you would like to

give back; consider supporting these incredible initiatives.
