How Can We Help?
We help you to reconnect and repair when ruptures and conflicts emerge.
We provide a full range of counselling and psychotherapy services. From problems with fertility and birth to child therapy, including sand, art and play therapy. We also provide adolescent therapy and adult, couples and family therapy.
Child Therapy
We work with you to understand and support your child in a safe space with play, arts and sand therapy which allows a window into your child's inner world and encourages a safe expression and promotes better connection and presence.
Family Therapy
We believe families function as a sort of system. When one is struggling, everyone is. We can help all members of the family by engaging everyone in therapy.
Relationships
First and foremost, couple counselling works by giving you the chance to be heard. Your counsellor will give you both all the time you need to talk, sob, shout or just think.
Depression
When you seek counselling for depression, you will speak confidentially with a counsellor who is trained to help you with your symptoms.
Anger Management
If you have noticed problems with angry outbursts or long-term rage, then it is time to seek counselling with a professional.
Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety becomes problematic when it is excessive, persistent and disproportionate to the actual circumstances that exist. Therapy offers a warm, empathic, safe and confidential environment in which the therapist and you collaboratively work towards understanding the underlying causes and triggers of your anxiety.
Stress
Stress can affect how you feel, think, behave and how your body works. Talking with a professional can help you to understand your own patterns and behaviour around stress, identify stressors and give you strategies and skills to manage the stress in your life.
Bereavement & Grief
Grief and loss impacts all aspects of our physical & emotional well-being and can impair our daily lives. Bereavement Counselling and Psychotherapy can help with this painful experience of loss.
LBGTQ
Depression, anxiety and low self-esteem are issues that can affect everyone, however, LGBT individuals can have other sources of mental distress which are experienced because of their sexual orientation. The comfort and safety provided in the therapy room will allow you explore complex and painful emotions as they arise.
Trauma & PTSD
Trauma has been defined in reference to circumstances that are outside the realm of normal human experience. Psychotherapy is the most effective form of treatment for trauma. Therapy can enable people who have experienced trauma, develop plans to stay safe and grounded.
