what we offer
Counselling aims to help people through change, conflict, or decision making. It can be helpful for questions about work and career. Counselling is usually short term. Read More
Psychotherapy can help with more complex, personal issues, problems that have been ongoing, troubling thoughts, feelings, or behaviours, trauma, autism, ADHD or mental health concerns. It goes much deeper than counselling and can lead to ongoing, sustained benefits including a richer and more enjoyable way of living. Psychotherapy is usually a medium to long term treatment.

Child Psychotherapy can help kids with problems at school, behavioural concerns, emotional regulation, fear of people, places and things, questions of gender and identity, and other childhood challenges. It uses therapeutic play and art making to help them work things through. Read More
Couples therapy is a collaboration between you and your partner, guided by a therapist. It can be very helpful for couples seeking to improve communication, trust, intimacy and sex, resolve conflict, address troubling behaviours or cycles, or recover from infidelity. Read More
psychoanalytically informed
"Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength"
Sigmund Freud
Every human life is unique, and each individual must ultimately take their own path.
Psychoanalysis is an approach to psychotherapy which uncovers the links and conflicts between conscious and unconscious thoughts.
Developed by Sigmund Freud, it avoids off the shelf solutions in favour of self-understanding. As such, it rewards commitment and courage. No two treatments are the same, as patient and analyst follow the unconscious "wherever it leads."
For well over a hundred years, this process has offered relief from mental distress.
