My ethos is prevention and maintenance. Consider the analogy of a bush fire – therapy aims to “back burn” to minimise catastrophic events occurring.

Treatment is individually tailored to your needs, drawing on evidence based practices including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused Therapy.
