Services
Counselling Psychology
Our counselling psychology services address depression, anxiety, self-harm, and relationship breakdowns using evidence-based CBT techniques. Sessions combine individual therapy with family involvement where appropriate, targeting long-term behavioural change. Clients benefit from tailored treatment plans developed through initial assessments and ongoing outcome monitoring.
Group Therapy
Structured group sessions focus on anger management, self-esteem, and self-harm prevention for 12-16 year olds. Delivered in school settings, these programmes use interactive learning to develop emotional regulation skills. Each 90-minute session accommodates 6-8 participants, with flexible 6, 8, or 12-week formats to suit different needs.
School Training
Three-hour staff training programmes equip educators to identify early signs of behavioural issues and implement classroom interventions. Sessions combine theoretical knowledge of brain-behaviour relationships with practical strategies for managing disruptive conduct, reducing school exclusions through proactive support.
Parental Classes
Six-week evening courses help parents develop effective communication and behaviour management strategies. Topics cover child development, reflective parenting, and early intervention techniques. Classes use interactive formats to address specific family challenges while promoting positive parent-child relationships.
Home Visits
Local home visit services provide accessible counselling for families unable to attend our clinic. Sessions maintain the same therapeutic standards as clinic-based appointments, with flexible weekday scheduling between 9am-4pm. Additional charges apply for non-local visits.
