Psychology and counselling

Evidence-based psychological therapy and counselling for children, adolescents, adults and older adults across our three locations.

How therapy works here

Your psychologist works with you to understand what is happening and to build practical strategies. Sessions are usually 50 minutes, and the number of sessions depends on what you are working on rather than a fixed program.

The goal of our time together is to explore the way you are thinking, and while we welcome a discussion of the history of your problem, our focus will be on present circumstances and finding helpful ways to respond to them. It is likely that we will invite you to undertake some tasks between sessions. It will be important for you to attempt these to produce an effective outcome.

Therapeutic approaches

Our psychologists draw on a range of evidence-based approaches and match the approach to the person rather than the diagnosis.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Solution Focused Therapy
Narrative Therapy
Family Therapy
Strengths-based approaches
Motivational interviewing
Mindfulness

Our areas of support

We support people with a wide range of concerns, from depression, anxiety and trauma to ADHD and ASD, addictions, and family and relationship difficulties.

Alongside individual therapy, we run psychologist-facilitated group programs. Groups are kept small and provide a supportive, structured environment to learn practical skills and share experiences with others facing similar challenges.
