I believe people are not defined by the challenges they experience. Strengths-based counselling recognises you as the expert in your own life and works collaboratively to identify your strengths, values and existing skills while developing practical strategies to support positive change. Together, we build on what is already working to foster confidence, resilience and hope.
EMDR Therapy supports clients to gently process distressing experiences that may continue to affect their lives today. This evidence-based approach can reduce emotional distress and support healing, resilience, and personal growth.
Career Counselling supports clients to explore their hopes, values, strengths and career goals while navigating career decisions and transitions. Depending on your needs, counselling may include career exploration, labour market information, identifying suitable courses and training pathways, application support, resume writing and feedback, personal branding, job search strategies, interview preparation, and career planning.
Explore practical tools, evidence-informed information and strategies to support your wellbeing. Topics include emotional regulation, mindfulness, nervous system regulation, self-compassion, stress management, resilience and more.
