Services
Trauma Counselling
Specialised trauma therapy addresses both recent and childhood trauma using evidence-based techniques. Our practitioners employ the Comprehensive Resource Model to process traumatic memories safely while maintaining emotional regulation. Clients develop coping strategies to overcome symptoms like anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues caused by traumatic experiences.
Couples Therapy
Couples counselling focuses on improving communication and resolving relationship conflicts through integrative approaches. Using models developed by Harville Hendrix and Dr Sue Johnson, we help partners rebuild trust, address infidelity, and develop healthier relationship patterns while maintaining a non-judgmental therapeutic environment.
CBT Sessions
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy sessions address anxiety, depression, and behavioural patterns through structured, goal-oriented sessions. Our BABCP-registered practitioners help clients identify and modify negative thought patterns, develop practical coping strategies, and implement behavioural changes to improve mental wellbeing and emotional regulation.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic counselling explores unconscious patterns and childhood experiences affecting current behaviour. Through in-depth exploration of defence mechanisms and relational patterns, clients gain self-awareness and develop healthier approaches to relationships and personal challenges while working through unresolved emotional conflicts.
Online Counselling
Secure online therapy sessions provide accessible mental health support through video conferencing. This service maintains the same therapeutic standards as in-person sessions while offering flexibility for clients who prefer remote access to trauma therapy, CBT, or relationship counselling from their preferred location.
