Individual Counselling Sessions 
This is what most people understand by therapy: two people in relationship and working towards change in a friendly, supportive and, above all, in a non-judgmental manner. Most of our sessions are short-term solution focussed although open-ended psychotherapy for deeper problems or core issues is also possible. 

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

We have a range of evidence based courses for people suffering from depression, anxiety, chronic worry or generalised anxiety, shyness or social anxiety,  anger management, aggression control, assertiveness training, procrastination, low self-esteem, shame reduction, panic attacks, bipolar disorder mood management, etc

Group Psychotherapy 
Also called Support Groups. A powerful way to get to know yourself with the help of others who understand what you are going through. Facilitated by an experienced counselor. These groups meet weekly and are very useful if you feel lonely, dislocated or just lost.

Workshops 
An opportunity to explore single persistent problem areas with a group. Examples include: Anger Management, Self-Esteem, Assertiveness Training. We have many others so call us for more information

What Next? 
Call us now for a initial consultation or screening session. This is an opportunity for you to see what we are like; to get the ‘feel’ of us; to see if we meet your needs and can help you. It is also an opportunity to ask us questions about how we practice; our qualifications and experience; what we charge etc  It also allows us to gauge if we can help you. We will send you some paperwork to fill in and ask you to post, fax or email this back to us.
