OuR Ethos
We work with the whole person - mind, body, nervous system - because that’s where lasting change lives
ways we can support
-
One-to-one work for adults, whether you are moving through something difficult or simply want to understand yourself more clearly. People come for anxiety, low mood, burnout, grief, stress, identity or a life that is changing, and just as often to work toward a goal, make a decision, or feel more like themselves. An unhurried space to think things through at your own pace.
Everyday mental health support for the common things most of us meet at some point, including stress, burnout, self-esteem, grief and adjustment. Alongside one-to-one work, we offer group facilitation, training and consultation for workplaces and communities wanting to be psychologically safer places.
-
Support for two people who want to understand each other better and work through what is not quite landing between them. This is not only for romantic partners. We work with all kinds of relationships, including business partners and colleagues, and close friendships. A space to be heard, to properly hear each other, and to find a steadier way forward together. Emotions-Focused Therapy. Please note this is work between two people. Support involving more than two is family therapy, which is a little different. Extended sessions available.
-
Care across the whole perinatal journey, through fertility, pregnancy, birth and the early years of parenting. That might mean support with antenatal anxiety, a difficult loss, birth, postnatal depression, anxiety or OCD, or simply the big adjustment of becoming a parent. A place to bring whatever this season is holding, the hard parts and the tender ones alike.
-
Support for teenagers, in a space made to feel comfortable and real rather than clinical. Young people come for anxiety, low mood, school and social pressures, identity, and everything in between. We meet them where they are and move at their pace.
-
Neurodiversity-affirming, assessment-informed care for people exploring or living with ADHD and autism. Practical support for things like executive function, sensory regulation, masking, and the identity questions that often come with a diagnosis, especially a later one. Formal assessment is not offered by every clinician here, so message us and we will point you to the right person.
-
Some of what we carry cannot be reached by thinking alone. It settles lower down, in the body and the breath, in a nervous system that holds the imprint of what it has moved through. This is body-based, evidence-informed work that meets you there. Through breathwork, somatic practices, guided meditation and mindfulness, we turn gently toward the felt sense of things, helping an activated system settle and soften. A space to slow down, come back into yourself, and find a steadier, deeper kind of rest. Offered on its own, or woven alongside talk-based therapy.
-
Building a life away from where you started carries a particular weight that the people around you do not always see. There is the practical side of settling somewhere new, and underneath it the quieter work of belonging, of missing home, and of holding an identity that now sits between places. This is support for expats and anyone living far from where they began, whether you have recently moved, are finding your feet after years away, or are navigating distance from family and the life you left behind. Because we work by secure telehealth, we can also stay with you across moves and time zones, so your support does not have to start over each time your address does.
-
A space where your identity is understood and affirmed, not something you have to explain or defend before the real work can begin. We offer LGBTQIA+ affirming care across everything we do, whether you are here for something that has nothing to do with gender or sexuality, or for the particular things that can come alongside them, like coming out, identity, relationships, family, minority stress, or simply finding steadier ground. You are welcome exactly as you are, and you lead on what matters.
-
The mind and body are not separate, and living with a physical health condition asks a great deal of both. This is health psychology: support for the psychological side of illness, pain, injury and medical treatment. People come while adjusting to a diagnosis, managing a chronic illness or persistent pain, preparing for or recovering from procedures, or working toward health changes that are far easier to decide on than to sustain. The aim is not to add pressure, but to help you cope, adjust, and live as fully as possible alongside whatever your body is asking of you.
We also provide support for athletes and high performers, covering both wellbeing and the mental side of performing. For this, we take a similar biopsychosocial approach. We work with things like nerves, focus, motivation, setbacks, and the sense of identity that can get bound up in results. Useful in a tough patch, and just as useful when things are going well and you want to build on them.
-
Independent psychological assessment and report writing for legal, insurance and workplace matters, along with support through court-related processes, including mandated sessions by referral. This is specialised work, so please be upfront about any report or assessment request before booking, so we can make sure we are the right fit for it.
The methods
-
You do not need to know any of these to begin, and you will never have to choose between them. They are simply the approaches we draw on, matched to you and to what is useful at the time. Some work more with thoughts and beliefs, others with the body and the nervous system, and most sessions move quietly between the two. Here is a plain-English sense of each, in case you like to know what you are stepping into.
-
A practical, well-researched approach that looks at how your thoughts, feelings and actions influence one another, and helps you gently shift the patterns that keep you stuck.
-
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts and more about making room for them, so they take up less space, while you move toward what actually matters to you.
-
A deeper approach for long-standing patterns, tracing the beliefs and ways of coping that formed early in life and quietly still shape how you feel and relate today.
-
An approach for connection, used often in couples and relationship work, that gets underneath the surface conflict to the emotions and needs driving it, so people can reach each other again.
-
A gentle way of getting to know the different parts of yourself, the anxious part, the inner critic, the part still carrying old hurt, so they can settle and begin working together rather than against you.
-
A structured, evidence-based approach that helps the mind process distressing or stuck memories, so they lose some of their charge and sit more where they belong, in the past.
-
Working with the body and nervous system directly, noticing what you feel and where, because some things settle through the body in a way that talking alone cannot always reach.
-
Learning to meet your own experience, and yourself, with a little more presence and a lot less harshness. It sounds simple, and it tends to change a great deal.
-
In practice, these rarely stay in separate boxes. Most of the work weaves between them, following what you bring on a given day. What matters more than any single method is that the work fits you, and keeps pace with you as things change.
