Services
Anxiety Counselling
Specialised therapy addressing anxiety disorders, panic attacks, and stress-related conditions through evidence-based techniques. Our counsellor employs CBT and the Rewind Technique to manage symptoms triggered by relationship issues, health concerns, or work-related stress. Sessions focus on developing coping strategies to reduce anxiety's impact on daily life while maintaining strict confidentiality.
Relationship Therapy
Tailored support for relationship challenges including communication breakdown and emotional distance. Utilising non-judgmental therapeutic frameworks, we help couples develop constructive dialogue patterns and explore relationship dynamics. The approach encourages mutual understanding while maintaining individual boundaries through structured therapeutic interventions.
Trauma Counselling
Specialist treatment for trauma and post-traumatic stress using the Rewind Technique and EFT Tapping. Our approach addresses recurring negative memories and intrusive thoughts through evidence-based interventions. Sessions provide a safe space to process traumatic experiences while developing effective coping mechanisms for improved psychological well-being.
Bereavement Support
Professional guidance through the grieving process following various types of loss. Our sessions address both emotional and physical manifestations of grief, helping clients process complex emotions and develop healthy coping strategies. The service supports adjustment to life changes following significant losses while respecting individual mourning processes.
EFT Tapping
Research-based emotional freedom technique combining acupressure and cognitive therapy. This approach targets stress reduction by tapping on specific meridian points while addressing negative emotions. Sessions aim to alleviate anxiety, trauma symptoms, and intrusive thoughts through structured tapping sequences delivered in a safe therapeutic environment.
