Individual sessions are available for people who are in emotional and psychological distress.  This can take many forms including depression, fear, anxiety or a loss of meaning in life.  Counselling tends to be relatively short-term and to focus on current specific current personal difficulties, while Psychotherapy is a long process which helps people to understand the deeper roots of their present difficulties with a view to developing a greater understanding and being much better able to manage in life.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a collaborative, practical and problem-focused approach to personal problems whereby both the client and therapist work together towards understanding problems in terms of the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviour.  The more actively involved the client is in this goal-orientated process, the better the outcome.  Treatment is often action-orientated, with specific technique-driven, brief, direct and time-limited exercises for specific psychological disorders.

Mindfulness helps us take part in our own wellness, by developing more healthy ways of relating to our mind, body and emotions.  By tuning into our moment by moment experience we notice how we struggle with difficult emotions, feelings of inadequacy, confusion or other forms of stress. By responding with acceptance and compassion we can learn to approach rather than avoid these feelings, allowing us to take part in our own healing process.

Wellbeing coaching is a process of working with a coach to identify and address the areas of your life that are negatively impacting your wellbeing. The coach will help you set realistic and achievable goals, and develop strategies to achieve those goals. Wellbeing coaching is often focused on improving your mental and emotional health, but can also involve physical health and wellness. The aim of wellbeing coaching is to achieve your optimal levels of physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing.
