Services
Counselling
Our counselling services provide a safe, non-judgmental space for exploring emotional challenges. Using psychodynamic and CBT approaches, we help clients understand behavioural patterns and develop coping strategies. Sessions address anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and trauma, with tailored plans adapting to individual needs and neurodiverse requirements.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy sessions utilise guided relaxation to access subconscious patterns affecting behaviour. Effective for habit modification, phobia management, and confidence building, this approach combines clinical techniques with personalised visualisation. Sessions target specific goals like smoking cessation while promoting overall emotional well-being through subconscious reprogramming.
Neurodiversity Support
Specialist support for adult neurodiversity assessment and understanding. Our services help clients navigate autism and ADHD-related challenges, providing coping strategies and self-acceptance frameworks. Through diagnostic facilitation and tailored therapy, we address associated anxiety and depression while promoting neurodiverse identity empowerment within mainstream society.
