Services
Psychotherapy
Our person-centred psychotherapy creates a non-judgmental space for clients to explore emotional challenges. This evidence-based approach helps individuals with anxiety, depression, trauma, and personality disorders by fostering self-awareness and internal growth. Sessions respect client autonomy, allowing organic progress at their own pace.
Counselling
Specialised counselling addresses grief, relationship issues, and life transitions. Using non-directive techniques, we help clients process loss, career changes, and identity exploration. Our practice accommodates diverse needs including chronic illness management and addiction recovery through empathetic, client-led dialogue.
Coaching
Executive and life coaching focuses on self-actualisation for high-achievers and those seeking purpose. We help clients overcome creative blocks, enhance leadership skills, and improve work-life balance through structured yet flexible sessions that respect individual values and aspirations.
ADHD Support
Tailored ADHD coaching combines therapeutic support with practical strategies. We address executive functioning challenges, emotional regulation, and self-acceptance for adults with ADHD. Our approach helps clients harness their unique strengths while developing sustainable organisational and focus techniques.
Encounter Groups
Facilitated encounter groups provide collective healing experiences. These sessions foster deep interpersonal connections through authentic dialogue, both online and in-person. Participants gain new perspectives on relationships and self-perception through guided group interactions that promote emotional breakthroughs.

Questions
What is person-centred therapy?
Person-centred therapy is a non-directive approach where you lead sessions. The therapist provides unconditional positive regard, helping you explore feelings and find your own solutions without judgment or prescribed techniques.
How do online therapy sessions work?
Online sessions use secure video platforms for face-to-face interaction. They maintain the same therapeutic principles as in-person meetings, offering flexibility for clients worldwide while ensuring privacy and consistent care quality.
Can I combine this therapy with other treatments?
Yes, person-centred therapy complements other treatments. It doesn't interfere with medical diagnoses or directive therapies like CBT, allowing concurrent use while providing holistic emotional support.
What issues do you typically help with?
We assist with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, relationship issues, grief, and personal development. Our non-directive approach adapts to individual needs, including executive coaching and chronic illness management.
How long does therapy usually last?
Most clients see progress in 3-4 sessions. While some benefit from fewer than 10 sessions, others continue longer. You control the pace, with regular progress reviews to ensure therapeutic effectiveness and relevance.
Are sessions covered by insurance?
We work with several health insurers and employee assistance programmes. Please contact us directly for specific details about your provider and coverage options for psychotherapy services.
