EveryMan Private
EveryMan Private is an EveryMan Australia initiative to:
- improve access to gender-specialist support for men living in the ACT and region, and for their partners and families, and
- offers fee-for-service counselling to support people whose circumstances require urgent support, or who are finding long waiting lists with other service providers.
Our other counselling service
EveryMan's Counselling Services, our existing counselling program, is funded by the ACT government. There are no fees for this service, although people are invited to make a donation when they attend. 100% of funds raised from voluntary donations are reinvested in the counselling service to increase our capacity. This program has a waiting list.
The EveryMan Private service
Our counsellors provide a confidential conversation in a safe and judgement-free environment, working with people's strengths, abilities and interests to find and implement solutions.
EveryMan Private is a fee-for-service alternative to our other counselling service, which will help us provide additional counselling appointments.
There are no restrictions or specific requirements. We have the experience to help with a wide range of issues:
- Risk of using violence (domestic, family or other)
- Experienced domestic, family or other violence
- Experienced sexual violence
- Other trauma
- Mental health - depression, anxiety, grief and loss
- Social isolation and loneliness
- Relationships and separation
- Parenting and other family issues
- Alcohol and other drugs
- Housing issues
- Unemployment
- Workplace problems
Who's eligible?
Men who are able to pay fee for service at time of booking. Partners or adult family members may request support subject to vacancies.

Vacancies
This is a new service, and intended to offer appointments when our counsellors are able to provide them in addition to their regular counselling services duties.
We will not be keeping a waiting list. We expect that our capacity will be limited in the first year of operation (2025) but we intend to grow the service over time to keep pace with demand.
Cost
There is a set fee of $187 ($170+GST), which is payable at the time of booking - no exceptions, and no refunds for cancellations.
This keeps appointment costs down - we still need to pay our counsellors for their time. The other option is to charge higher fees, which means that people who keep their appointments are paying for the people who don't.
