Therapies

Not sure which is right for you? Choose “Not sure yet” when you book and we'll talk it through together.

Counselling
A confidential space to talk through what's on your mind, to be heard without judgement, and to understand yourself and your situation better.
Solution focused brief therapy
A short-term approach that focuses on what you want your life to look like and builds on what is already working, rather than dwelling on the problem.
Motivational enhancement therapy
A few collaborative conversations to strengthen your own reasons and confidence for making a change, especially around alcohol or drugs.
Social behaviour and network therapy
Support that looks at the people around you, building a network of friends, family and others who help you make and keep positive changes.
