FAQ's

What do I do if I think my child or teenager is struggling with mental health issues?

If you’re concerned about your child or teenager's mental health, it's important to reach out for professional help. Our therapists are knowledgeable in working with adolescents and children, providing guidance and support through evidence-based interventions tailored to their specific needs. We also work with parents to implement preventative strategies for improving mental wellbeing.
What is mindfulness?

Mindfulness is a mental practice that involves staying fully present in the moment, observing thoughts, emotions, and sensations without judgment, and accepting them with openness and compassion. It encourages awareness of the present, fostering a calmer and more centred state of mind. Mindfulness is useful because it promotes mental well-being by reducing stress and anxiety, while enhancing focus, concentration and cognitive function. It fosters emotional regulation, self-awareness and better decision-making.
Do you offer support for those transitioning genders?

Yes, we provide counselling services for individuals going through gender transitions. Our therapists are committed to creating a safe space where clients can openly discuss feelings, thoughts and concerns, while taking steps towards healing and positive change. We understand that this process can be challenging and strive to provide the utmost care and compassion.
