Facing your biggest challenges with strength and confidence

Whether you’re dealing with a little “Humanitis“, or have bigger challenges to manage, we can help you overcome these obstacles with strength and confidence. Our first priority is to put you at ease and ensure you feel “heard”, while helping you to feel better, right now. We listen, guide and empower you with the right tools and techniques starting with our first session together so you feel completely supported.

Dealing with hard times is a natural part of life, sometimes those challenges can become unmanageable and we can feel powerless, stuck or confused.

Here are some of the challenges we regularly help with:

  • Workplace issues. Are you struggling with work and/or financial stress? Covid may have played a part in arising problems for employers and employees alike. Perhaps you want to find a more fulfilling career path.
  • Life management. Are you dealing with stress, confusion and a lack of direction? We can help you find exciting, inspiring and achievable goals.
  • Assertiveness. Are you experiencing workplace bullying or harassment? This is not only demoralizing but it can also affect your job performance, income and spill into other areas of your life. Discover your inner strength and learn strategies to cope with this.
  • Building better relationships. Are you having trouble with your home life? Families and meaningful relationships can be tough to navigate. We can help you build good relationships with your partner, children and other family members, as well as improve communication skills.
  • Stress management, anxiety and depression. Is this stopping you from living a meaningful life? We’ll help you develop strategies so you can cope, manage and flourish.
  • Life direction. Are you feeling stuck? Thinking of making a change? Unsure of your life direction? We can help you can find a fresh direction and renewed inspiration to build the life you want.
  • Support with grief and trauma. Have you suffered a loss recently? Everyone experiences grief and trauma, to varying degrees, at some point in their lives. We can help you navigate, manage and heal.
  • Dealing with Covid. Let’s be honest, the last two years have been incredibly difficult and many of us are still suffering now. We can help you deal with pressure and strong emotions by discovering hope and building confidence.
  • Developing emotional mastery. Do you feel like your emotions are out of control? Are you feeling guilty because you’re angry? Anger, sadness, disappointment and fear are natural emotions. They’re normal, rather than “negative.” We can teach you techniques to manage your emotions.
  • Youth. Is your child struggling? We can help you teach them strategies and skills to increase self-esteem, build confidence and develop life-skills.
  • Specialist counselling options. Specialist counselling is available for addictions, phobias, suicide prevention, managing children’s concerns, and sexual concerns.

Why Nature-based therapy?

We take all of our sessions out into the open air, walking through a park or other natural setting.

Why in nature? Because nature helps us better connect with ourselves and gives us an emotional lift.

Whether you’re into science or spirituality, it is universally recognized that being near water, trees or wildlife automatically relaxes us and is beneficial for managing stress and anxiety. Nature can help us gain a clearer perspective and provide a sense of inner-peace. Walking and talking is also more comfortable, more relaxed and more natural than sitting in a stuffy room, feeling pressure to talk.

Why in nature? Because nature helps us better connect with ourselves and gives us an emotional lift.
