Services
Counselling
Professional talking therapy helping clients explore emotional challenges in a safe, confidential environment. Our integrative approach combines multiple methodologies to address depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and self-esteem concerns. Sessions focus on empowering clients to understand their experiences and implement positive changes through structured, client-centred support.
Online Therapy
Secure video sessions via Zoom platform enabling remote access to therapeutic support. Maintains the same professional standards as in-person counselling while offering flexibility for clients unable to attend face-to-face appointments. Requires stable internet connection and private space to ensure confidentiality during sessions conducted from any location.
Child & Adolescent Counselling
Specialised support for young people aged 11-18 addressing emotional development, academic pressures, and social challenges. Utilises age-appropriate techniques including sandplay therapy to facilitate expression. Focuses on building resilience and coping strategies while maintaining appropriate safeguarding protocols throughout the therapeutic process.
CBT Therapy
Evidence-based approach targeting negative thought patterns and behavioural cycles. Combines practical strategies with emotional exploration to address anxiety, depression, and stress-related conditions. Sessions incorporate homework exercises to reinforce progress between appointments, with structured goal-setting forming key components of the therapeutic process.
Sandplay Therapy
Non-verbal therapeutic technique using miniature figures and sand trays to externalise inner experiences. Particularly effective for clients struggling with verbal expression, trauma processing, or complex emotions. Facilitates subconscious exploration through symbolic representation while maintaining the counsellor's supportive presence throughout the creative process.
