individual counselling.

CBT is a structured, evidence‑based therapy that explores how thoughts, emotions, and behaviours influence one another. It helps people recognise patterns that may be keeping them stuck and supports developing new ways of responding that feel more aligned with their values and needs. CBT can involve building awareness of thinking habits, experimenting with behavioural changes, and strengthening skills that support steadiness and confidence in daily life.

CBT can be helpful for:
anxiety, low mood, worry and rumination, avoidance patterns, motivation difficulties, and strengthening practical coping skills.

ACT focuses on building psychological flexibility — the capacity to stay connected to what matters, even when difficult thoughts or emotions show up. Rather than trying to eliminate discomfort, ACT supports people to make room for their internal experiences, clarify their values, and take steps toward a meaningful life. It draws on mindfulness, acceptance, and committed action.

ACT can be helpful for:
anxiety, stress, perfectionism, identity exploration, chronic health conditions, and navigating change or uncertainty.

DBT is a skills‑based therapy designed to support people who experience intense emotions or rapid shifts in emotional states. It combines CBT strategies with mindfulness and focuses on four key skill areas: emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. DBT‑informed work can help people understand their emotional patterns, strengthen steadiness, and build confidence in navigating relationships and difficult moments.

DBT‑informed work can be helpful for:
emotional intensity, impulsivity, relationship challenges, grounding during distress, and strengthening communication.

Practical strategies to support navigating intense emotions and reducing reactivity during periods of high stress or overwhelm. These approaches sit alongside the ways you already get through difficult moments, offering additional tools for staying grounded, steady, and connected to yourself.

These approaches can be helpful for:
overwhelm, emotional sensitivity, burnout, stress, and moments where emotions feel difficult to carry.

Psychoeducation supports understanding of mental health, trauma, neurodivergence, nervous system responses, and the many factors that shape wellbeing. It also includes information about treatment options — such as different therapeutic approaches, how they work, and the role medication can play — so you can make informed decisions in collaboration with your GP, psychiatrist, or other treating professionals. The aim is to help you make sense of your experiences with clarity and self‑compassion.

Psychoeducation can be helpful for:

clarity, insight, reducing shame, understanding symptoms, navigating treatment decisions, and strengthening self‑understanding.

These interventions focus on practical, everyday skills that support functioning and wellbeing. This may include communication skills, problem‑solving, routines, boundary setting, planning, and strategies for navigating challenges. The aim is not to “fix” behaviour, but to support people in building tools that feel realistic, sustainable, and aligned with their goals.

These interventions can be helpful for:
stress, overwhelm, communication challenges, executive functioning difficulties, and navigating daily demands.

Support for parents and carers navigating the complexity of children’s emotional and behavioural needs. This work recognises the enormous effort and insight parents already bring, and offers space to make sense of what’s happening beneath behaviours, understand nervous system responses, and consider developmental and neurodivergent factors that may be shaping a child’s experience.

Together, we explore the broader contexts influencing family life — including stress, school environments, community expectations, and the demands placed on both children and adults. This support includes psychoeducation, reflection, and practical approaches that sit alongside your existing knowledge and strengths, with a focus on strengthening connection, communication, and regulation within your family’s unique circumstances.

This support can be helpful for:

understanding emotional and behavioural patterns, navigating complex needs, strengthening connection, reducing conflict, and feeling more resourced and informed in the face of ongoing demands.

Evidence‑based approaches that support understanding and working with your nervous system, including grounding, breathing strategies, progressive muscle relaxation, and body‑based practices informed by polyvagal theory. Many people come to this work already doing everything they can to manage stress or overwhelm, yet still find their body reacting in ways that feel intense or unpredictable. These approaches offer a way to make sense of those responses, recognise patterns, and explore strategies that bring a greater sense of steadiness and choice.

Rather than aiming for perfect calm or “control,” this work focuses on building a more supportive relationship with your nervous system — noticing what it needs, understanding why certain responses show up, and finding practices that feel realistic and sustainable within the context of your life.

These approaches can be helpful for:

stress, overwhelm, anxiety, panic, grounding, and supporting a sense of steadiness and safety in daily life.

CBT‑I is a structured, manualised, evidence‑based therapy for insomnia and disrupted sleep. It goes far beyond general “sleep hygiene” advice and is considered the first‑line treatment for insomnia internationally. Many people come to sleep work feeling like they’ve already tried everything — adjusting routines, reading books, following online tips — and still find themselves exhausted, wired, or unable to rest. CBT‑I recognises that sleep difficulties are complex and often shaped by patterns that develop over time, stress, nervous system responses, and the understandable strategies people use to get through difficult nights.

CBT‑I typically involves a series of structured sessions (often around 6–8), though the length can vary depending on individual needs. For some people, shorter treatment is appropriate; for others — particularly when sleep difficulties are long‑standing, intertwined with trauma, neurodivergence, or health conditions — a longer process or periodic reviews may be helpful. The approach is highly individualised and often requires support, troubleshooting, and gentle refinement along the way.

A key part of CBT‑I is learning skills and strategies that you can return to in the future. Because insomnia can re‑emerge in future, CBT‑I includes relapse‑prevention planning, so you feel confident recognising early signs and re‑applying the tools you’ve learned.

CBT‑I offers a non‑pharmacological pathway with strong evidence for long‑term improvement. 

CBT‑I can be helpful for:

difficulty falling asleep, frequent waking, early waking, chronic insomnia, fatigue, and restoring a more predictable and restful sleep pattern.
