Couples Counselling

Therapy for couples experiencing relationship difficulties, communication breakdowns or major life transitions. A therapist helps partners understand each other's perspectives, improve communication and work toward a healthier, more connected relationship.

ADHD Assessments

A structured evaluation by a psychologist or psychiatrist to determine whether ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is present. It typically includes questionnaires, clinical interviews, rating scales and sometimes cognitive testing, and results in recommendations for support and treatment.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

A structured, evidence-based therapy that helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. CBT is widely used for anxiety, depression, OCD and many other mental health challenges, and has strong evidence for both children and adults.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

A mindfulness-based psychological therapy that teaches people to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them, and to commit to actions aligned with their values. ACT is effective for anxiety, depression, chronic pain and many other conditions.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
