Services
Counselling
Our counselling services provide a safe, confidential space for individuals to explore emotional challenges and life difficulties. Using client-led approaches, we address issues such as anxiety, depression, and relationship conflicts. Sessions focus on fostering self-awareness, resilience, and personal growth through evidence-based techniques tailored to each client's unique needs and circumstances.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR Therapy addresses trauma and PTSD by reprocessing distressing memories using bilateral stimulation techniques. This evidence-based method, endorsed by NICE and WHO, helps clients reduce emotional distress and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Sessions typically last 90 minutes to ensure thorough processing of traumatic material.
Couples Counselling
Couples counselling focuses on improving communication and resolving conflicts between partners. Using approaches developed by leading relationship experts, we help couples build empathy, address infidelity, and strengthen emotional connections. Sessions may include individual and joint meetings, with homework assignments to reinforce progress between appointments.
Adoption Support
Specialist adoption counselling supports adoptees, birth parents, and adoptive families in navigating the emotional complexities of adoption. Using psychodynamic and attachment-based therapies, we address lifelong impacts of adoption, helping clients develop coping strategies and strengthen family bonds through tailored therapeutic interventions.
Supervision
Professional supervision supports counsellors at all career stages, from trainees to experienced practitioners. Using the Hawkins and Shohet model, we provide reflective spaces for ethical practice development, case discussion, and professional growth. Supervision fosters resilience and enhances therapeutic effectiveness through collaborative learning and constructive feedback.
