Introducing Glenn Roullier (Addictions Councellor) Prior to joining the Alcohol and Other Drugs Program at ‘UnitingCare Wesley Bowden’, Glenn spent eight years in the ‘Family Services Program’ and six years working in the ‘Men and Family Relationships Program at UnitingCare Wesley Port Adelaide. Because of this experience and their funding agreement, he is able to counsel clients about other dynamics other than their addictions such as anger, relationships with wives/partners and their children. Glenn is also in a position to talk to wife’s/partners and other family members with support and to help with relational difficulties they experience. Further, UnitingCare Wesley can discuss personal development issues such as esteem, insignificance, insecurity, and other areas of personal growth so that the client may move from addiction and have a sense of becoming a successful person. Glenn is free to see a client for as long as required by the needs of the client, at no cost. Clients can access the service Monday to Friday 9.00 am to 4.30 pm (except public holidays) to arrange appointments on (08) 8245 7100. Whilst not essential, Glenn likes clients to make their own appointments so that they take responsibility for their change from the start. Through counselling the client and supporting those close to the client, the client can regain a sense of belonging in their family and the community, further enhancing the sense of being a successful person. If you feel Glenn can be of service to a client or their partner or family members or should you wish to discuss anything or make referrals, please don’t hesitate in contacting him. Glenn Roullier
