Services
Face-to-Face Counselling
Our face-to-face counselling sessions occur in a purpose-built cabin designed to promote relaxation and confidentiality. This traditional format allows for enhanced non-verbal communication analysis, helping clients explore anxiety, depression, and relationship issues in a dedicated therapeutic space. Sessions last one hour and include post-session reflection time.
Telephone Counselling
Telephone counselling provides accessible mental health support for clients with mobility challenges or busy schedules. Delivered via secure landline or mobile connections, these 45-minute sessions maintain the same therapeutic depth while offering location flexibility. Particularly beneficial for managing stress and low self-esteem issues.
Online Counselling
Online sessions use encrypted video platforms like Skype and Google Duo for secure remote therapy. This format suits clients seeking anxiety management or trauma support from their preferred environment. Sessions include digital resources and maintain the same professional standards as in-person consultations.
Humanistic Therapy
Humanistic counselling prioritises client self-discovery through non-judgmental dialogue. This approach helps clients understand emotional patterns and develop self-compassion, particularly effective for those experiencing life transitions or seeking personal growth through relational depth techniques.
Integrative Counselling
Integrative therapy combines humanistic foundations with CBT techniques and compassion-focused strategies. Tailored to individual needs, this approach addresses complex issues like trauma and suicidal thoughts by blending theoretical frameworks while maintaining client-led therapeutic direction.
