No matter where you are based in the Shire, our psychologists and counsellors offer a safe, supportive space to explore challenges and strengthen wellbeing.

People seek counselling for many reasons. You might be experiencing relationship difficulties, workplace stress, or major life transitions such as retirement, separation, career changes, or early parenting. We also support adults with eating disorders, as well as challenges related to pregnancy and perinatal mental health.

 

You don’t need to be in crisis. sometimes having a space to reflect, feel heard and gain perspective can lead to meaningful change.  Our aim is to create a calm, confidential environment where you feel safe to explore your experiences, recognise patterns and develop practical strategies to manage life’s challenges.
