Individual Psychology
Our Psychologists work to support and guide individuals across the lifespan, fostering positive changes that lead to enhanced wellbeing.
We work with clients and families to achieve clear strategies and goal-directed interventions based on best practises. Life’s journey is filled with ups and downs, and sometimes, the path can be challenging. During these rough patches, reaching out and sharing experiences with someone can be incredibly useful. By doing so, you can gain the support and guidance needed to navigate through these obstacles. Remember, seeking help and connecting with others is a sign of strength and a step towards a better future.
We understand the importance of mental health and the way it can impact quality of life. Our psychologists have experience helping individual adults, children and families in the following areas:
Understanding their diagnoses and disabilities.
Managing feelings of stress, anger, anxiety and/or depression.
Building emotional insight and regulation strategies.
Developing behavioural management strategies for children.
Coping with grief, loss, crisis situations and/or trauma.
Improving relationships and social skills.
Setting goals, improving confidence and motivation
Developing problem-solving skills to manage difficult situations.

Schema Therapy looks at long standing patterns called schemas that develop in childhood and continue to influence how we see ourselves, relate to others and navigate the world around us.
What to expect
- Identifying core schemas (e.g., abandonment, mistrust, defectiveness) and the coping modes that develop in response (e.g., overcontroller, compliant surrenderer)
- Understanding how unmet childhood needs drive current patterns
