Services
Counselling
Our counselling services provide a safe, confidential space for individuals to explore personal challenges and emotional difficulties. With practitioners trained to Masters level, we address issues ranging from anxiety and depression to relationship problems and life transitions. Our client-centred approach ensures tailored support that promotes self-understanding and positive change.
Neurodiversity Screening
This comprehensive screening service identifies potential neurodiversity traits through structured evaluations. Clients receive detailed reports, support letters, and practical guidance to facilitate workplace adjustments and educational accommodations. Both self-administered and supported options are available to suit different needs and comfort levels.
Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy
Specialised treatment for phobias and anxiety disorders using immersive VR technology. This controlled environment allows gradual exposure to feared situations while maintaining safety. The programme includes physiological education and coping strategies to reduce anxiety responses through progressive sessions.

Therapeutic sessions incorporating our hypoallergenic therapy dog Coco to enhance emotional comfort. This service uses animal interaction to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation, while maintaining strict welfare standards for our therapy animals during sessions.

Targeted support for relationship challenges using evidence-based therapeutic frameworks. We help couples improve communication, resolve conflicts, and rebuild connection through structured sessions that address both individual and shared concerns in a non-judgmental environment.
