Mission

Our philosophy is that it's just as important to have a fence at the top of the cliff than an ambulance at the bottom. Why wait until we have an expensive and time-consuming crisis to resolve?

Our therapies, psychological coaching, and courses provide individuals and businesses with the understanding and support they deserve.

Approach

We use an integrative humanistic approach which blends Person-Centred, Existential and Gestalt Psychotherapies to offer a contained confidential space to work on the issues you are facing.

From Defeated to OK

Life can knock you down.

We all experience doubts, or feel defeated by what life throws at us. Clinical definitions of anxiety or depression might be useful to identify the problem, but we're more concerned with alleviating the suffering.

When you're not OK and life demands that you 'should' be, let us help you get back up and more in charge of your self, your feelings and your life.

Addiction
Anxiety
Depression
Self-Worth and Confidence
Relationship Issues
Nature Therapy
Resilience and Stress
Trauma
Loss and Bereavement
and many more.

From OK to Amazing

Mental and Emotional wellbeing are often only focused on when you're in trouble, but we can do so much more.

When you apply counselling and psychotherapy to fine tune your wellbeing and performance then the results can be amazing. Here are a few of the ways we can help:

Sales Confidence for individuals and teams
Preparation for events, speaking engagements, weddings, interviews.
Coaching for Peak Performance in business and throughout your life
Unblocking Creativity; Artists and Writers.
Assertiveness and Boundaries for work and home life.
Life decisions and changes.
Readiness for That Big Meeting
Self Care and Work-Life Balance
Building Resilience
