This page is for lawyers and other professional referrers who want a clearer understanding of how Alex Crouch Counselling works with clients needing structured behaviour change support.

ACC's Men's Behaviour Change Program at a Glance

At Alex Crouch Counselling, the Men's Behaviour Change Program is delivered one-to-one rather than in a group format.

The service is designed to support men who need a structured, practical, accountability-focused pathway, with sessions available online and in person. The program follows a 12-module framework and may be completed over a shorter or longer timeframe depending on the client's needs and circumstances.

Who May Be Appropriate to Refer

This page may be useful where a client:

Has been advised or encouraged to undertake a men's behaviour change program
Needs a one-to-one format rather than a group setting
Requires a clearer and more flexible pathway to begin
May benefit from online delivery because of geography, scheduling, or privacy considerations

How the Referral Process Works

Referrers can contact Alex to discuss:

Whether the service may be appropriate for a client
How the one-to-one format works
Practical referral steps
Whether online or in-person delivery is more suitable
Any documentation requirements that should be clarified early

Where helpful, referrers can provide background information, relevant timelines, and any practical details that may assist with planning next steps.

Reports and Documentation

Where appropriate, a comprehensive individualised report outlining progress, key learnings, insights gained, behavioural change, and recommendations for ongoing growth and development provided on completion for the client and their legal representative.

Because legal matters vary, it is best to discuss any reporting, documentation, or timing requirements early so expectations are clear from the start.

Online and In-Person Delivery

Sessions are available online and in person. This can help reduce practical barriers for clients in Melbourne as well as those referred from interstate.

Related Support

For clients where alcohol or other drug use is a relevant factor in a court-related matter, AOD (Alcohol and Other Drugs) counselling may also be a useful complement to the Men's Behaviour Change Program. This is offered as a secondary, related service alongside MBCP referrals.
