What we do:

- Counselling and Psychotherapy
Counselling is a two-way working relationship. Through counselling, you will have the opportunity to gain more insight into yourself, your situation, and the way you relate to others. You will be able to explore different ways of looking at your life and the choices you make. The counsellor will help you in this and in your move towards making your own decisions, and perhaps taking more control over your own life…

- Life Coaching
‘Coaching helps individuals’ access what they already know. They may never have asked themselves the questions, but they have the answers. A Coach assists, supports and encourages individuals to find answers. Meaning life coaching is a process that enables you to clarify your intentions and accelerate your progress towards achieving your personal, relationship, and career goals.
