Are you feeling overwhelmed, irritable, reactive, disconnected and overstimulated? You may notice there is often a sense of urgency and you have difficulty relaxing.

Hello, I offer holistic and inclusive care for individuals and couples who are dealing with life transitions or relationship issues, particularly those involving identity changes, and loss or grief. With professional and lived experience among cultural, gender and neurodiverse communities, I understand that adjusting to these events and stages of life can be complicated, and distressing without the right kind of emotional support. This can lead us to question our sense of who we are, and how to move forward with our lives. Together we can start to explore whatever might be happening for you in a safe space and trauma-informed way.

Hi, I'm Vicki. I am a qualified Art Psychotherapist in England and Australia. I am passionate about art therapy and specialise in trauma informed art psychotherapy. This involves helping and educating clients on how to regulate their nervous system with art making, in a safe therapeutic relationship. This is particularly effective for clients with ptsd and anxiety disorders (select mutism, ocd). Client's goals are often to learn new ways of regulating their emotions and reduce anxiety and build coping skills. We can do this with art therapy, so they can be empowered to live the life they desire, with freedom from the past.

Hi, my name is Josh. I specialise in working with clients with trauma (C/PTSD), anxiety, depression and chronic conditions by facilitating Body-Mind Processing practices. I use Buddhist Psychotherapy as my therapeutic framework. Buddhist Psychotherapy is a non-religious, brain science-focused and compassion-oriented framework, which can combine evidence-based counselling methods with body-mind integrative practices for a restored sense of wellbeing. My practice focuses on the body’s innate wisdom to work out solutions to the presented issues, as well as working with emotions as the vehicles to connect body-and-mind.
