Counselling and psychotherapy allow you to explore and unravel unproductive patterns of feeling, thinking and behaving, to develop an understanding of yourself and to discover new meanings and action in the world.
Therapy can be a place of deep healing of old wounds and yet also place of great empowerment as you discover unknown capacity and potentials within you
As therapy progresses and old habits fall away new experiences of well being arise such as:
- Self confidence
- Emotional balance
- Connection to others
- Direction and purpose
- Ease and flow
- Vitality

INDIVIDUAL & COUPLES COUNSELLING
Individual Counselling/Psychotherapy
Counselling is a brief form of problem-solving, solution oriented therapy whereas psychotherapy involves a deeper focus on self-exploration, self-understanding and working through long-standing issues rather than temporary life problems
Couples/Relationship Counselling
Most relationships will get strained at some time. Couples therapy is a vital resource in both crisis situations and in general maintenance, supporting your relationship to run smoothly, to grow and thrive
