The weight of service can linger long after a veteran takes off the uniform. The mental and emotional scars of combat, physical injuries, and the profound experiences of military life can leave lasting impacts. These can manifest as unique challenges to mental health, making the path towards healing feel isolating and uncertain.
Conditions like PTSD, anxiety, and depression are more common among veterans. But beyond the statistics lies a human story. Veterans may face specific barriers to seeking help, such as the stigma, engrained training that emphasises emotional control rather than openness and finding a counsellor who understands the unique needs of veterans.
The Rosemary Centre recognises these obstacles and offers veterans a safe, supportive space. We understand that seeking help is a courageous step, a sign of strength, not weakness. Our team is here to guide you on your journey towards healing and well-being.

Various evidence-based counselling and therapy approaches can be highly effective for veterans. These include:

- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT helps veterans develop emotional acceptance and build a fulfilling life despite ongoing challenges.
