Psychotherapy

The journey through psychotherapy is unique to every individual and is influenced by your life’s journey and position. Psychotherapy modalities can help to alleviate emotional dysregulation and mental health challenges than can be experienced after trauma or major life events. It’s a modality that embodies talking work, awareness of the self, help you to understand why you feel and behave the way you do and work towards a preferred way of being in the world.

Counselling & Social Work

Counselling is unique to every individual and is influenced by your life’s journey and experiences. Engaging in counselling with a social worker will involve you being supported by a person-centred approach to counselling through a social work lens. Social work is an approach that embodies strengths based and solution focused modalities, trauma informed practice, consultation and collaboration and respect for persons and their autonomy.

One of Our Favourite Quotes of all Time is…

“when you change the way you look at things,

the things you look at change”

(Dr Wayne Dyer).

This quote says alot about the power of Psychotherapy and the impact it has on shifting the position of how an individual processes the input of the world, how they resolve or mitigate behaviours that cause angst and disharmony or emotional distress. Psychotherapy can also help with ingrained belief systems, addictions, thoughts, emotions and relationship issues. We work with the client to shift the way they process and view the world through different lenses and move forward in a preferred direction.

Our Approach & Philosophy

Our therapists are highly educated and collectively encompass decades of experience in the health space. Our approach is embedded in providing a non-judgmental and shame free space for our clients to feel emotionally safe to discuss the challenges they experience. Servicing our community we see many varied presentations from addiction to relationship challenges, separation, divorce, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, body image and much more. We have worked with individuals who experience isolation and homelessness in the area, currently engage with a local cancer charity helping those men and women impacted by the diagnosis of cancer, working with parents of additional needs children, assisting those bereaved by suicide, mentoring university students through the challenges of their studies to name just a few.
