We provides a safe, supportive space where individuals can explore their thoughts and feelings to foster self-awareness and personal growth. Using approaches like humanistic therapy, CBT, SFT, and ACT, our therapists focus on each person’s unique experiences, including supporting those who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges.
Sessions promote open communication, offering guidance on managing emotional needs, processing past traumas, and improving family or interpersonal dynamics.
Through talk therapy and expressive techniques, individuals develop coping strategies, emotional regulation, and resilience, empowering them to navigate life’s difficulties and enhance their overall well-being.

We provide a supported environment where parents and carers can explore the challenges of raising children, as well as their thoughts and feelings. Using a humanistic approach, our therapists focus on each parent’s unique experiences, fostering self-awareness and personal growth.
Sessions encourage open communication and help parents address issues such as anxiety, depression, or family dynamics.
The process offers guidance on supporting emotional needs and strengthening family relationships, empowering parents to navigate their parenting journey with confidence and resilience.
We utilise techniques such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and person-centred therapy to help individuals build resilience, manage their emotions, and navigate life's challenges. These approaches are practical, empowering, and designed to support personal growth, goal setting, and effective problem-solving.
Our sessions promote insight, healing, and emotional well-being, helping adults process trauma, overcome difficulties, and thrive in their daily lives.
Our aim is to foster resilience and emotional health through compassionate, tailored therapy that meets each individual’s unique needs.

A non-directive family counselling approach that combines humanistic principles with attachment theory and interpersonal neurobiology (how the mind is shaped by relationship).
In Interplay therapy parents and care givers become central to the child's therapeutic process.
The core belief is that therapists should see children within their family system and for optimal growth and healing within their attachment relationships.
Interplay supports children and parents to explore and reorganise experiences that may have contributed to their wellbeing. By way of interplay, both child and parent can develop self insight and insight into each other. There can be a strengthening of the parent child relationship, and movement towards a calmer and more connected parent child relationship.
