OUR APPROACH TO THERAPY
We specialize in trauma therapy and relationship counseling. We focus on working with adult survivors of childhood trauma, betrayal trauma, accidents, and various relationship issues, including codependency, boundary setting, and interdependence.
We also work with attachment-based insecurities, anxiety, depression, work-related stress, burnout, and unresolved past relationships. In our practice, we address issues related to limerence, obsessive-compulsive thoughts and behaviors, and open and ethical non-monogamous relationships.

Trauma therapy and EMDR
We support individuals in navigating the lasting impact of trauma with compassion and care.
Our approach is to meet you where you are, fostering healing at a pace that honours your unique journey.
Life transitions and ageing
Change can be both challenging and transformative - whether you're adjusting to a new role, coping with loss, or navigating the realities of ageing.
We walk alongside individuals through each life stage, helping them make meaning of transitions and cultivate resilience.
Family and couples counselling
Relationships are central to our wellbeing, and we’re here to help you nurture healthier, more connected dynamics. Whether you're navigating conflict, communication challenges, or life transitions as a couple or family, we provide a supportive space to deepen understanding and rebuild trust.
Multi-culturual counselling
We believe healing must be inclusive and culturally attuned. We bring our own unique lived and professional experiences to support clients from diverse backgrounds. Whether navigating intergenerational issues, identity, or systemic barriers, we honour your context as a vital part of your wellness journey.
