Counselling and Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy and Counselling are professional activities that utilise an interpersonal relationship to enable people to develop self-understanding and to make changes in their lives.

The work of Counsellors and Psychotherapists with clients may be of considerable depth, the focus of Counselling is more likely to be on specific problems, changes in life adjustments and fostering clients’ wellbeing. Psychotherapy is more concerned with the restructuring of the personality or self and the development of insight. At advanced levels of training, Counselling has a greater overlap with Psychotherapy than at foundation levels.

We offer in a variety of mental health areas and believe in an integrated approach to counselling. We work with you and pride ourselves in creating a strong relationship with our clients by ensuring that we are a good fit to help you attain your therapy goals.

We offer Counselling and Psychotherapy services to individual clients, couples, family and non-family groups, in respect of an extensive range of personal life problems such as:

• Relationship / Marriage / Family difficulties
• Anxiety / Panic
• Depression
• Addiction
• Sexual abuse / assault
• Psycho-sexual problems
• Bereavement
• Eating problems
• Adolescent difficulties

The counsellors and psychotherapists working in the Centre practise within a humanistic or person-centered orientation. This means that the focus in the therapy process is on the personal, subjective experience of the client. The person’s own inner wisdom, freedom, and responsibility for self are regarded as central to the process.

Everyone seeking help is recognised as having an embodied, spiritual, psychological and social life. While each person's individuality and uniqeness is respected, we also recognise that within each of us there are depths that reach beyond our individuality and through which our lives are sustained and have meaning.

We strive to provide our clients with a “no-wait” policy, which means you are able to make an appointment to see one of our professional therapists. Our practitioners possess a broad range of experience in the community, business and professional worlds. We have all undertaken extensive training and are committed to ongoing professional development.
