Services
Individual Counselling
Our individual counselling sessions address anxiety, depression, and life transitions through collaborative, client-centred approaches. Qualified therapists work weekly to develop tailored strategies for personal growth and problem-solving. Sessions last 50 minutes with options for short-term or long-term engagement based on client needs.
Couples Therapy
Specialised couples therapy helps resolve relationship conflicts and improve communication. Short-term interventions typically span 4-6 sessions, focusing on conflict resolution and strengthening partnerships. Therapists facilitate constructive dialogue while maintaining neutrality and confidentiality.
Anger Management
This structured programme addresses anger-related challenges through cognitive-behavioural techniques. Counsellors help clients identify triggers and develop coping strategies. Sessions combine symptom management with exploration of underlying emotional patterns for lasting behavioural change.
Online Counselling
Secure video sessions via Zoom, Skype, or telephone provide accessible mental health support. This option suits remote clients or those preferring home-based therapy. Same evidence-based approaches are delivered with equivalent effectiveness to in-person sessions.
Life MOT
A two-session exploratory programme offering initial therapeutic engagement. Designed for first-time clients, it provides structured self-reflection with qualified counsellors. Helps determine if ongoing therapy would benefit personal or professional development goals.
