Life does not always go to plan but we hope to show you how you can be closer to living life the way you have always imagined, moving beyond any limiting beliefs and creating a vision of yourself that you look forward to being.

We help client’s achieve goals by focusing on individual strengths and realising their true potential by discovering their hidden resources.
Our aim in therapy is to support clients in every way through their journey in life.

Finding a Therapist
What To Look For When You Need To Find A Therapist
When you’re searching to find a therapist for anxiety, it can be hard to know where to start. Whether you’re looking online to find a therapist for anxiety or you’re taking recommendations from friends, the possibility of finding the right person to help you with your anxiety can feel overwhelming. Take a look at these tips for finding the right therapist to help you with your mental health needs.
-
Consider your potential therapist’s specialties. While therapists are qualified to work with you on a number of mental health topics, many of them have small areas of specialization. You may want to look for a therapist who specializes in anxiety disorders.
-
Think about what you need in order to feel comfortable with your therapist. Choosing someone who you can relate to can be helpful in allowing you to open up and make progress.
-
After your first appointment, consider how you feel with your therapist. Sometimes, it can take a few tries to find a therapist who is a good fit for your needs. It’s a bit like dating – it’s normal to spend some time to find someone who feels right.
