What We Offer

We provide a portfolio of services across two complementary disciplines:

 

Psychotherapy & Counselling

Delivered by a BACP-registered psychotherapist with an MSc in Psychotherapeutic Counselling, focusing on emotional processing, personal insight, relational patterns, and long-term psychological growth.

 

Key service areas include:

  • Anxiety, stress, and mood-related difficulties

  • Trauma and past experiences

  • Relationship and family issues

  • Grief, loss & bereavement

  • Identity, self-esteem, and personal development

  • Emotional wellbeing

  • Neurodivergence (ADHD, autism, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, sensory processing disorder).​​​

​​​Health, Behaviour & Neurodiversity

Delivered by an HCPC-registered clinician and Public Health specialist with a Master of Public Health (MPH). This service provides behavioural health and mental health assessment–informed support to help clients improve daily functioning, build behavioural stability, and strengthen neurodivergent wellbeing.

​

Work begins with a structured mental health and psychosocial assessment, using clinical interview frameworks, standardised screening tools, functional review and risk considerations. This assessment informs tailored, practical support focused on early intervention, stabilisation and behaviour-based strategies.

​

Support is grounded in public-health and behavioural-science principles and is designed for individuals, families and young people who may be experiencing emotional overload, executive functioning challenges, stress-related difficulties, or barriers navigating complex systems.

​

Key service areas include:

  • Mental health and psychosocial assessment

  • ADHD pre-assessment support and preparation

  • Executive functioning and behavioural strategies

  • Emotional and sensory regulation support

  • Crisis recognition, early warning signs and safety planning

  • System navigation (NHS, private healthcare, education and social support)

  • Behavioural health support for families and young people

Our Approach

We operate a dual-specialism approach that allows clients to access:

  • therapeutic support

  • health and clinical-led support

  • behavioural support

  • or a combined approach where appropriate

 

This enables the practice to address both emotional needs and functional challenges, reducing barriers to progress and improving outcomes.

 

Our approach prioritises:

  • appropriate intervention matching

  • clarity of professional scope

  • evidence-based methods

  • structured planning and measurable goals

  • risk awareness and behavioural insight

  • ethical, client-centred practice
