Services
Counselling
Our counselling services address emotional and psychological challenges through evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed practice. Sessions help clients explore personal difficulties in a safe, confidential environment with Master's-qualified professionals. We specialise in bereavement, relationship issues, and mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques.
ADHD Screening
Our comprehensive ADHD screening process includes self-administered or supported assessments that produce detailed reports and support letters. These evaluations help clients understand their neurodiverse profile and access appropriate workplace or educational accommodations through documented recommendations.
Coaching
Professional coaching services focus on personal growth, career development, and overcoming perfectionism through structured goal-setting and accountability frameworks. Our certified coaches work with clients to enhance self-awareness and implement practical strategies for achieving personal and professional objectives.
Trauma Therapy
Specialist trauma therapy utilises Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy and traditional techniques to address phobias and traumatic memories. This approach helped clients overcome severe height anxiety, enabling them to navigate previously challenging environments with renewed confidence.
Pet Therapy
Optional pet therapy sessions incorporate our hypoallergenic therapy dog Coco to enhance emotional comfort during sessions. This intervention, available subject to animal welfare considerations, provides additional emotional support for clients engaging in various therapeutic processes.
