Counselling with Gestalt Therapy

Gestalt therapy is grounded in a warm and compassionate therapeutic alliance. Together we focus on how you feel and what is happening for you 'here and now'.

Relationship Counselling

Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy prioritises understanding and expressing emotions as a key component to resolving conflict and building intimacy. This draws heavily on attachment theory, which explores how early childhood relationships influence adult bonding patterns.

Professional Supervision

Develop your therapeutic skills, your confidence and your well-being by discussing your work in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment. Set your career goals, reflect on practice, role-play cases and problem-solve where you ‘get stuck’.

Parenting with Attachment Theory

Be bigger, stronger, wiser and kind. Authoritative, and deeply attuned parenting starts with being kind to yourself and knowing you don’t always have to ‘get it right’. Importantly, kids need you to be emotionally available to them and your encouragement to safely explore their world.
