Counselling Association of South Australia Inc

The Counselling Association of South Australia (CASA) was established to provide a professional association for counsellors, and to set standards for counselling ethics and practice.

CASA is open to all counsellors and therapists who meet the required standards of training, experience and supervision. CASA supports practitioners who exhibit responsibility and accountability in delivery of services, and who are committed to best practice counselling.

CASA counsellors and therapists work in a variety of professional settings and deal with a wide range of client issues.

CASA recognises a diversity of counselling approaches and traditions, acknowledges various pathways to counselling qualification, and values competencies acquired from a variety of situations and life experiences.

Supervision and ongoing professional education are seen as an essential part of developing and maintaining professional competence. CASA provides regular seminars on a wide range of counselling-related topics for the ongoing development of counsellors and therapists. A quarterly newsletter is published and distributed to all members.

CASA, inaugurated in May 1997, is based in Adelaide and has approximately 200 members located predominately throughout the state of South Australia.
