People come to therapy for many reasons. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, stressed, struggling in a relationship, facing a crisis, or simply looking for a safe space to explore your thoughts and feelings. I believe many emotional difficulties develop within relationships, and healing happens through relationships too. My approach is relational, collaborative and engaged. Rather than acting as a quiet observer, I will be actively involved as a co-researcher in the shared project of "what is wrong, and how do we resolve it?" I won’t tell you what to do, but I will support you in finding your own path towards change.

Hello, I’m Gabrielle, a Chartered Psychologist dedicated to supporting your mental well-being in a nurturing and empowering environment. Thank you for the courage it takes to reach out for help during difficult times. I work with people facing a range of challenges such as the impact of illness, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, and identity issues. Having personally experienced chronic illness and, more recently, cancer, I believe the end of treatment for any life-threatening or life-altering illness or event marks not a finish line, but the beginning of a long and often overlooked journey of recovery.

With over 20 years' clinical experience working with adults and children across a variety of settings, and training in multiple modalities, I work in a trauma-informed, humanistic, and relational way, tailoring therapy to your unique needs rather than expecting you to fit a particular model.

Counsellor, MNCPS Acc.
I help strong, capable, and dependable individuals - the ones everyone relies on - who carry their own needs and everyone else’s on their shoulders. From the outside they appear resilient and in control, but inside they are often exhausted. I offer a space where they no longer have to “handle it” alone.

Hi, I'm Paula. Taking the first step towards therapy isn't always easy. I know this not only as a therapist, but from my own experience. During a very difficult time in my life, I reached out for therapy, and I understand how daunting it can feel to ask for help. That experience showed me the value of being truly heard, understood, and supported. It also strengthened my belief that therapy can provide a safe space to make sense of life's challenges and begin moving forward with greater clarity, confidence, and hope.

Bod Cantwell
Psychotherapist, MSc, MBACP
I work with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, ADHD, relationship difficulties and many other presentations. I draw on a range of evidence-based therapies, including Counselling, CBT, EMDR, Schema Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), DBT and Couples Therapy. Rather than asking, "Which therapy do you need?", I ask, "What does this person need?" Understanding you, your experiences and your goals comes first. The therapy is then tailored around you, not the other way around.

Mukabo Road Safety
Psychologist, MSc, GMBPsS
"Having walked a certain path, as a Christian, my Faith in God and leaning on Him has been the greatest pillar I ever held on to experiencing my own post-traumatic growth. However, I value individual differences, respect, diversity, culture, integrity, honesty and ability to find your own path, grow, connect and build an enduring relationship. I firmly believe individuals can be empowered to find their own solutions. I am aware I might not have all the answers or solutions, but I could give one or two suggestions. I am happy to sit with people who find themselves in a dilemma, stuck in difficult and uncomfortable situations".

Many people face a variety of challenges in their lives that can significantly impact their well-being. For some, this may manifest as anxiety, which can create overwhelming feelings of worry and unease, or if you are dealing with depression, characterized by persistent sadness and a lack of interest or pleasure in daily activities. Additionally, if you are grappling with the effects of past trauma, which can lead to flashbacks, emotional distress, and difficulties in forming trusting relationships. In counseling, I aim to provide a supportive environment where clients can explore these issues in depth.

Mick Dixon
Counsellor, DCounsPsych, BACP
Hello, my name is Mick Dixon. I am a person-centred psychotherapist. I’m drawn to those concerns that we have regarding our meaning and purpose in the world that can touch us in unique and distinct ways: as melancholy, anxiety, loneliness, unnamed trauma, illness, inertia or as anger, self-criticism or feelings of powerlessness. I am also interested in the the correlation between the body and mental wellbeing and how our environments social, political, biological, physical, impact on us both bodily and psychologically.

Alcohol Use Counsellors
Are there specific medications for alcohol use?
There are oral medications approved to treat alcohol use disorder—such as disulfiram, acamprosate, and naltrexone, which also comes in an injectable form. These medications do help people reduce their drinking as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone helps reduce cravings, disulfiram can make a person feel sick when they drink, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.

How do alcohol recovery or rehabilitation programs work?
In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other patients in recovery; in outpatient programs,individuals live at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff can also include people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other tools for recovery.

How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?
Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.

How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for alcohol use reduce the amount of alcohol they intake. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
