Services
Individual Therapy
Our core service provides long-term individual psychotherapy lasting 12-24 months. Therapists work with clients to address deep-rooted mental health issues through weekly sessions. This service prioritises those unable to afford private therapy, with placements determined by clinical need rather than financial capacity.
Depression Counseling
Specialist therapeutic support for individuals experiencing depression. Our practitioners use evidence-based approaches to address symptoms including persistent sadness, loss of interest, and emotional regulation difficulties. Treatment focuses on understanding underlying causes while developing coping strategies for daily life management.
Anxiety Treatment
We offer structured therapy programmes for anxiety disorders including panic attacks and phobias. Therapists help clients explore anxiety triggers and develop personalised management techniques. Our approach combines cognitive behavioural techniques with psychodynamic exploration of root causes in a supportive environment.
Trauma Recovery
Specialist therapy for individuals dealing with past trauma, including sexual or physical abuse. Our practitioners create safe therapeutic spaces for processing traumatic experiences. Treatment focuses on rebuilding trust, managing flashbacks, and developing healthy coping mechanisms through long-term therapeutic relationships.
Relationship Therapy
We provide individual-focused therapy addressing relationship difficulties. Therapists help clients explore patterns in interpersonal relationships, improve communication skills, and develop healthier boundaries. This service supports those dealing with family conflicts, partnership challenges, or social isolation issues.
