Services
Trauma Therapy
Specialised trauma therapy addresses post-traumatic stress and complex trauma through evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Processing Therapy and Somatic Therapy. Our approach recognises trauma's impact on mind and body, fostering safety and empowerment. Clients develop coping strategies to process traumatic memories and rebuild resilience, with sessions tailored to individual readiness and needs.
Anxiety Counselling
Targeted anxiety counselling utilises Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance Commitment Therapy to address excessive worry, panic attacks, and phobias. We help clients understand anxiety's function while developing practical tools for symptom management. Treatment focuses on challenging unhelpful thought patterns and gradually reducing avoidance behaviours through structured, compassionate support.
Depression Treatment
Comprehensive depression treatment combines Schema Therapy and Mindfulness-Based approaches to address persistent low mood and motivation loss. We explore underlying cognitive patterns while implementing behavioural activation strategies. Therapy focuses on reconnecting clients with meaningful activities and cultivating self-compassion through a collaborative, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship.
Body Image Therapy
Body image therapy addresses negative self-perception and disordered eating patterns using Internal Family Systems and somatic techniques. We explore the emotional roots of body dissatisfaction while developing embodied self-acceptance. Treatment focuses on rebuilding trust in bodily signals and challenging societal beauty standards through a trauma-informed, weight-neutral framework.
Grief Counselling
Grief counselling provides a safe space to process loss through narrative therapy and meaning-making approaches. We support clients navigating complicated grief reactions and disenfranchised losses, helping integrate bereavement into personal growth. Therapy addresses both recent losses and unresolved past grief through paced, compassionate exploration of emotional experiences.
