Testimonials

Shake Counselling provide an outstanding service for young people. The facility includes a basketball court, gym equipment, PlayStation and plenty of room to have a chat to the Counsellors and Mentors. Jaxsyn and his team have truly created a space dedicated to young people using movement-based activities whilst having the skills, knowledge and passion to support young people in need.
I cannot thank Shake Counselling enough for the impact they had on my students! All counsellors were able to form really strong relationships with students who have additional learning needs. They were able to tailor their program to be more relatable to the boys and provide them much needed life skills to assist with their personal and emotional development! I saw students in a completely different light and Shake provided a space for students to be calm and really support each other! Could not approve of Shake more and everyone should support their program as it vital!
I’ve been going to shake for a solid 8 months now and can say not only have I noticed but my family and peers have noticed an incredible growth mentally for me. The boys there hold it down, Jaxsyn always has a smile on his face and is great at offering guidance and helping me with any troubles I’m having.
We have been using Shake Counselling for a few years now. Shake Counselling have been a wonderful resources that has supported myself and my youngest son through some extremely difficult circumstances. I can not speak highly enough of the service provided to us. We are tremendously grateful for the support Shake Counselling has given us. I highly recommend this service.
Shake Counselling is amazing. I look forward to each week getting out and about trying new things I wouldn't have done by myself. Their support always puts a smile on my face.
Shake Counselling is changing how people see counselling. Jaxsyn, Will, and the whole Shake team are great at connecting with young people who come to them. What sets them apart is their focus on building resilience and emotional intelligence in youth. They teach practical methods that help young people regulate their emotions during stressful or challenging moments. This approach empowers youth to handle life's ups and downs more effectively. It's clear they really care about each person and are making a positive difference for Geelong's youth. Their work goes beyond traditional counselling, giving young people valuable life skills. If you're looking for a place where you won't be judged, someone to talk to, or if you want to learn tools for emotional management, reach out to the Shake team.
