Introduction

Counselling and Psychotherapy range from short to long term therapy dependant on the issues. They provide a confidential environment to talk and be heard. They focus on responding appropriately and effectively to your emotional, spiritual, cognitive, phenomenological and behavioural needs.

The practitioner seeks to facilitate the alleviation of distress and suffering as well as encourage growth and wellbeing. The core ideas behind the Integrative & Humanistic approach include: we are all ok, everyone has the capacity to think, people decide their destiny and these decisions can be changed.
