Our Transformative Services

Recovery is Possible!
The conversations we have together lay the groundwork for your therapeutic journey and with your motivation, counselling is most effective when you identify what is essential and focus on achievable goals one step at a time. After collecting and making sense of your story with you, we agree to treatment and appointments at a time that works best for you while reducing the financial burden. Narrative Healing keep prices low and are pay-as-you-go .
Mindfulness A Relationship Between Body and Mind
Combining storytelling and mindfulness helps with reframing the way you think, and it becomes easier with practice. Our strategy is to cultivate calmness, happiness, and focus in daily life and when engaging in regular practice you establish a pattern that helps with negative thinking, anxiety, and even out cravings . We offer a variety of resources to support your mindfulness journey, including guided sessions and self-learning tasks and activities.
Emotional Wellbeing Matters More Than You Think
As part of the treatment, you will engage in talking therapy with our counsellor to create a personalised self-care strategy to nurture your emotional, social, spiritual, and physical well-being. Seniors, are encouraged to request a return call for information about our fees. After-hours welfare checks are available.
For Seniors too; Navigate Feelings Safely
Life can sometimes present unexpected challenges that lead to deep grief and overwhelming feelings of loss. These feelings may stem from long-standing feelings of shame, neglect or situations that have contributed to a sense of emptiness or a significant event that feels impossible to move past. We explore treatment that have helped others by reframing thinking and learning joy in life after change.
