What we work on most, and how. If what brings you here is not on this list, it is still worth asking.
Anxiety rarely shows up as one clean problem. It looks like a mind that will not stop at 2am, a chest that tightens before a meeting, plans quietly cancelled, or a decision put off for months. Therapy gives you a place to slow it down and a set of tools that work outside the room. Our therapists draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Trauma Focused-CBT, mindfulness and Solution-Focused approaches depending on what fits you.
Depression is heavy and it is also common, which does not make it easier to carry. Sessions focus on understanding what is keeping the pattern in place, rebuilding routine and connection at a pace you can manage, and working with the thoughts that make everything feel permanent. Approaches include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative therapy and Psychodynamic work.
Trauma work moves at your pace. Nothing gets pushed. Several of our therapists have specific training in Trauma Focused-CBT and work with clients on grounding and stability first, before any detailed processing. You decide what you talk about and when.
Stress is treated as a real clinical concern, not something to push through. Sessions look at load, boundaries, recovery and the practical changes that actually reduce pressure, alongside skills for the parts of your life you cannot change right now. Work-related stress and burnout are a specific area of focus in this practice.
We see individuals, couples and families. Relationship work focuses on the patterns underneath the arguments, how each person is understood, and what needs to change for the relationship to feel workable again. Attachment-based, Emotionally Focused and Gottman Method approaches are used depending on the couple.
Grief has no schedule and it is not limited to death. Loss of a relationship, a role, a pregnancy, health or a future you had planned all belong here. Therapy gives grief somewhere to go, without a timeline attached.
These come up regularly in sessions and are within the scope of the team.
Not sure whether we are the right fit? Say what is going on in a short message and reception will point you to the therapist best matched to it, or to somewhere more appropriate if that is a better answer.
