Why Therapy?

 

Therapy is a key to life-changing habits that can help us cope with what life throws our way. We don’t have to do it all on our own, and there are times where we need to have an objective viewpoint to get us through the woods.  If you are here, you are one step further in your journey. 

 

I am here to help you gain back abilities within you that give you the strength to overcome life’s lows and struggles with a wide range of psychological services.

About me

Individuals Therapy 

Are you feeling down and cannot put your finger on the reason?

Are you not sure where on what to do next or where to go to?

Are you overwhelmed but don't want to burden your partner, friends and family? 

Do you want to give yourself some tools to carry on? 

Speaking with a professional, away from your close support network can be a gift that you give yourself, focusing on your own well being, because YOU matter too. 

Children Therapy 

 If your child had a physical injury that can develop into an infection, you would not think twice and make sure that they have the best intervention to prevent further escalation in your child's health. 

Mental health issues can escalate very quickly and early intervention can prevent reaching a crisis point.

As parents we cannot solve everything, but we can make sure that our children access help in support of their well being.  

Therapy at the point of issue presentation can be life saving and is always life changing.

Couples Therapy

Holding Hands

Like any partnership, a good relationship requires ongoing hard work and a shared ability to withstand what life throws at it.  

At times, it can feel impossible to overcome crisis and conversations turn into arguments , going in circles, leading nowhere. Sometimes there are no arguments but it just doesn't feel the same.  

Couples therapy allows you both to talk in a safe, non judgmental environment , gaining back tools to nurture and grow your relationship.

Family Therapy

A family is like a team that requires ongoing buy-in and signing up in order to deal with what life throws at them. 

It is never about just one member of a team and family therapy is a most impactful way to overcome the challenges together, whilst empowering and giving tools to each family member and the team as a whole.
