Services We Offer
CBT - Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a therapy that can help you manage your problems by changing the way you think and behave. It combines cognitive therapy (examining the things you think) and behaviour therapy (examining the things you do). It’s most commonly used to treat anxiety and depression, but can be useful for other mental and physical health problems such as pain, phobias, stress etc.
NLP - Neuro Linguistic Programming
NLP, as its title indicates, is a therapy that involves the link between your mind and the language it uses. It is based on a set of rules and techniques to assist with modifying behaviour in order to achieve self improvement or resolve issues around a thinking or communicating issues. It is popular as it can provide a quick solution, and has shown to be effective when used in conjunction with other therapies such as Hypnotherapy and Coaching
Hypnotherapy
During hypnosis, a person is said to have heightened focus and concentration. With the right hypnotherapist, you can then utilise this heightened state to access areas of your mind that you may want to change, empower or just to relax. Hypnotherapy has been clinically proven to be effective with situations like anxiety/panic attacks, smoking cessation, phobias, weight management, pain management etc..
Coaching – to be the best you can be
Coaching has been around for many years and is traditionally seen in the sports industry, but can be applied to virtually anything you want to improve or excel at. Whether it be sports, life, behaviours, business etc., coaching can provide a means to improving skills/behaviour or achieving the success that you want from a career. It covers important steps for moving you along in the journey to being the best you can possibly be.

Counselling
Counselling provides a calm and quiet environment, that is non-judgmental and confidential for our clients to talk through their issues. The focus is on helping the client find ways of dealing with their issues or problems rather than giving advice or telling you what you should do. This type of therapy involves talking about the issues, which are often stressful or emotional, and the therapist will help direct you to look for alternative thoughts, feelings, experiences or behaviours that will facilitate positive changes. This therapy suits people who like to talk and communicate, and those where the issues are not so traumatic that they are able to talk about them without further trauma. Counselling is effective and has been around for a long time, but it is a process that takes time and is not a quick fix.
