For many people making the decision to take up Counselling or Psychotherapy is difficult. They often feel that their issues and concerns are not important enough to warrant attention for fear of being seen as weak. Others feel that their issues and concerns are so insurmountable and overwhelming that they are impossible to resolve. And if they expressed how they feel; that they would lose themselves or never stop crying; or that a Therapist would not be able to 'cope' or be unwilling to help.

We are a committed team who share common guiding principles and our therapeutic approach has been researched and developed over many years. We are inspired by the anthroposophic therapeutic model. This approach was developed by Park Attwood Clinic (1979 - 2009), this form of medicine and therapy developed from the collaboration between Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) and Dr. Ita Wegman. Our approach explores how physical and emotional health relates to a spiritual nature.
