Abstract

In an earlier report it was shown that five consecutive years of client demographic data collected at an affordable, walk-in counselling agency demonstrated that the agency was meeting its original aims (Manthei and Duthie, 2003). However, missing from that analysis were actual data on counselling outcomes that might lend support to those results by showing that the agency had also been successful in providing effective counselling services to its targeted clientele. This study fills that gap by reporting the self-reported counselling outcomes of 31 clients who were seen at the agency and their reactions to the service they received. The results provide further evidence of the agency's effectiveness, and when combined with data from the 2003 report, give a fuller picture of a well-functioning counselling service.
