CPA to tackle ‘disingenuous’ counselling services

THE Crisis Pregnancy Agency is set to crackdown on rogue counselling services which manipulate women and provide a “disingenuous” service.

CPA chairwoman Katharine Bulbulia said the agency was aware of organisations providing services which could involve a hidden agenda using various tactics, including delaying the counselling process, showing clients inappropriate images or providing negative health information.

Speaking at the launch of its annual report, Ms Bulbulia encouraged women to use high-quality counselling services funded by the CPA or provided by GPs and other reputable health care providers who have specific training and expertise.
