EQUALLY IMPORTANT;

look after both!

Talking THERAPY with

Clinical Psychologists is

ACCEPTABLE, NORMAL &

Our Values

Kind

We won’t judge you, even if you think you are different or have made mistakes. You can speak freely, be honest. You can cry, show fear, frustration, jealousy, loss or hurt. You can take masks off and say what is really on your mind.

Hope personified

We are determined hope detectors, committed to developing our clients and our own psychological flexibility so that we all ‘bounce’ with whatever life throws at us.

Safe

We take protecting your confidentiality seriously.
We hold your personal data securely and aligned with mental health best practice and data protection laws.

Professional

We strive to be transparent about what, and why, we do or don't do things. We are fully qualified, experienced therapists who use effective evidence based therapies. We regularly check in with you about whether sessions are meeting your needs.

Our Awesome Team
