How we can help you
We know what it is like to struggle. We can help you to get better at knowing and managing your emotions, to build strong connections with those who matter to you, and to embrace life to the full.
Working with Individuals
All our therapists are highly trained and skilled in assisting individuals of all ages to move from patterns of distress to balance and wellbeing. Our team is skilled in a range of therapy modalities to help individuals to achieve their goals and to live full lives.
Working with Couples
With therapists trained in the "gold standard" therapy for couples and relationships, Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT), we are able to assist people to improve their relationship satisfaction, to heal from hurts, and to build strong connections.
Working with Relationships
Our therapists are sensitive to the many ways that people love and to the many constellations of romantic connections that people form. We provide Emotionally Focused Therapy for ethically non-monogamous, open, multipartnered, and/or polyamorous relationships.
Working with Families
With therapists specialising in working with children and young people as well as providing Emotionally Focused Therapy for Families (EFFT), we can offer a range of services for children and young people and their families.
