I began ProMind Psychology because I couldn’t find a psychology practice that really sparked my sense of joy – lit my mojo! So I created my own! I wanted a space where people can learn about themselves and feel relaxed and accepted from the moment they enter. I've created a team of Psychology professionals who love being at ProMind Psychology, so I feel 100% sure you will too. Whatever challenges you’re facing, we want you to feel cared for and understood. We are here to help you connect with your inner wisdom and find a way forward.

Immediate child, family and individual sessions available! I support children to understand their emotions and learn strategies to be the boss of their brains. I help kids to add tools to their coping skills toolbox and adjust to changing circumstances. I support families to build on their relationships through psychoeducation and looking at situations from different perspectives. I am keen to support parents to become the kind of parents they want to be. I can work with parents on their own mental health, and help families best connect with each other
Melissa Essence
Co-dependence: what exactly is it? It is the need to look outside of ourselves for validation. It manifests as putting others’ feelings, needs, and perceptions before our own. Often, it is unconscious and we don't even realise we do it. It can be extreme or subtle. We are co-dependent when we are pulled by the outside world rather than being in alignment with our true desires and soul path. Co-dependency may look like: a romantic relationship or friendship where you merge into the other, become consumed by their world, lose yourself, do activities that they enjoy, or show an interest in their interests.

Shelley Murphy
Psychotherapist, MA, ACA-L4
Verified
I work with clients from all walks of life who have a burning desire for change. They want to release the past and step into the life which is no longer limited by the unhealed in their past. They might walk through my door with a range of issues ranging from anxiety , self esteem, relationship issues etc but their needs and wants are not much different. They are seeking a life which is of their choosing. They want a life which is of their making. They want a sense of control and connectedness with self and others. My clients are tired of repeating the same behavioural patterns and expecting a different outcome.

Are you constantly struggling and confused with relationships? Seem to be on the "bad relationship merry-go-round", not just one, but a string of them, you feel like there must be something wrong with you or you're just a magnet to attract people that aren't what they appeared to be in the beginning and slowly wear you down until you have little confidence in your choices and yourself. You feel like you're bothering your friends with your problems, then getting their different opinions confuses you even more, you feel like such a failure in the relationship area even though you are successful in most other key areas of your Life

Do you and your partner feel like your conversations are going around in circles and you're having the same conflicts day in, day out? Does the partner you once felt warmth and affection for now feel like a stranger? Has there been a breach of trust and now you're not sure how to move forward? As we grow and change our relationships do too which can cause tension both in our relationship with others and ourselves. I'm here to help you make sense of these challenges and move through them.

What a crazy 3 years it’s been. Have you noticed that you’re feeling lost? Confused about where you are in life and where you’re heading? Perhaps you got married / had a baby / got divorced / retired / lost loved ones during lockdown and you’re struggling to make sense of the world. You’re not alone. Let's work together to help you rediscover your goals and values in life, and process any feelings of hopelessness, despair or loneliness. Many people have lost jobs or had their hours reduced since covid started. If finances are an issue for you, we can discuss options to make therapy affordable.
Garry Gilfoy
Counsellor, MSc, ACA-L2

Life can get pretty tricky at times and we can feel anxious, depressed, lost. We might look for a quick fix but often it's about finding a right relationship with our self. From time to time we'll lose touch with who we are or where we’re at. We get stuck. But these feelings aren’t a bad thing if we use them as a trigger for growth. Deepening our understanding of who we are and what we’re here for is a noble and enduring pursuit. When we connect to our inner world on deeper levels, we begin to know a new richness working from the inside out. The rest will usually fall into place.
