The call for counsellors in NSW

One in five Australians face a mental health condition each year.

Background

There is unprecedented demand for qualified counsellors in Australia. The Australian Counselling Association projects 15.1% growth in the counselling sector from 2023 to 2028. Mental health is serious, and our client trusted us to do something quite different for the category, without trivialising the issue. And it worked.

Problem

AIPC, the Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors, had two marketing challenges: to inspire people to consider counselling as a career; to encourage others to seek support when needed. The focus was New South Wales.

Solution

The creative idea ‘Let You Out,’ was born from a simple truth: many people are looking for change but are scared to take the leap of faith that turns their inner desires into external reality.

The campaign centres on both receiving and giving help, showing both sides of the counselling experience. It shows how helping others can be just as transformative as receiving support.
