Anxiety Counselling
Specialised therapy for anxiety disorders, including racing thoughts, panic attacks, and generalised anxiety. We employ Gestalt techniques to explore present-moment experiences, helping clients develop coping strategies and reduce symptoms through self-awareness and tailored interventions.
Childhood Trauma Recovery
Targeted support for emotional neglect, abuse, and complex PTSD. Using trauma-informed frameworks like TIST and DBR, we help clients process past experiences, rebuild self-worth, and break cycles of intergenerational trauma through compassionate, evidence-based methodologies.
Gestalt Psychotherapy
A holistic approach prioritising 'here-and-now' awareness to address emotional blocks. By exploring current experiences without forcing narrative retelling, clients gain insights into patterns affecting their well-being, fostering organic, sustainable personal growth and functional change.
Addiction Recovery
Non-judgmental therapy addressing underlying causes of addiction. We combine Gestalt principles with trauma-informed care to help clients understand triggers, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and rebuild relationships impacted by substance misuse or behavioural addictions.
Life Transitions Support
Guidance through major life changes like job loss, retirement, or grief. Our sessions focus on navigating emotional challenges, rebuilding resilience, and finding purpose during periods of uncertainty or loss, using client-led therapeutic strategies.
