Accredited Mental Health Social Worker/Counsellor

EMDRRA Accredited Practitioner

Our counselling services are committed to enhancing the well-being of individuals by providing evidence-based techniques and tools designed to address life’s challenges effectively.

The services we provide include:

Trauma recovery - For individuals affected by trauma, tasks that were once simple and routine—such as maintaining focus, engaging in social activities, or participating in hobbies—can evolve into significant challenges. The nervous system, unable to achieve maintain social engagement, responds as though previous experiences are continuing to occur, resulting in avoidance, emotional exhaustion, and isolation.

Emotional dysregulation occurs when unresolved trauma interferes with the ability to process and manage emotions effectively. This disruption often results in heightened stress levels within the nervous system, culminating in persistent states of hypervigilance. Such heightened alertness, driven by an exaggerated perception of threats, contributes to considerable strain on overall mental and physical health.

Counselling offers a structured and empathetic environment in which individuals can address the emotional dysregulation stemming from traumatic experiences. By utilising therapeutic methodologies tailored to the unique circumstances of each individual, counselling aims to restore emotional balance, enhance nervous system functionality, and foster resilience.

We also provide counselling to assist with:

Emotional regulation, developing healthy boundaries, build self esteem and self worth, increase confidence, enhance personal development and manage life stressors.

Anxiety, depression and stress.

Sleep issues.

Couples counselling - support to resolve interpersonal issues within your relationship to enhance communication, connection and resolve issues that arise throughout the lifespan of your relationship.
