Services
Counselling
Our counselling services provide a safe, non-judgmental space for individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, or life challenges. Using integrative approaches combining person-centred, psychodynamic, and existential frameworks, we help clients develop self-awareness and coping strategies. Sessions focus on understanding thought patterns, emotional responses, and behavioural cycles to facilitate positive change through evidence-based therapeutic techniques.
Mindfulness Courses
We offer structured mindfulness programs including the 8-week Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course. These evidence-based programs teach present-moment awareness techniques to reduce anxiety and improve emotional regulation. Participants learn grounding practices and meditation skills applicable to daily life, with options for introductory courses and bespoke corporate training packages tailored to specific organisational needs.
Couples Therapy
Specialised relationship counselling using Emotional Focused Therapy principles helps couples understand interaction patterns and develop empathy. Sessions focus on improving communication, resolving conflicts, and rebuilding trust through structured exercises and homework assignments. Our approach incorporates mindfulness techniques to enhance present-moment awareness and reduce reactive behaviours in relational contexts.
Supervision
We provide individual and group supervision for counsellors, psychotherapists, and healthcare professionals. Our supervision model integrates the 7-Eyed Framework with mindfulness principles to enhance professional development and ethical practice. Sessions focus on case review, professional boundaries, and personal growth through structured reflection and solution-focused approaches.
Psychotherapy
Specialised psychotherapy services address complex mental health concerns including disordered eating patterns and existential distress. Using trauma-informed approaches, we help clients explore deep-seated behavioural patterns and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Treatment integrates cognitive-behavioural techniques with mindfulness practices to address both immediate symptoms and underlying psychological factors.
