Our Services

A holistic & solutions-focused approach to improve the quality of your life!
Psychology Services – Providing individual evidence-based and best-practice therapy to adults. Our holistic and solutions-focused approach means we focus on moving you forward to make significant changes and experience positive outcomes to improve your mental health.
Holistic Counselling Services – An approach that views a person as a whole—mind, body, emotions, and spirit—rather than focusing solely on symptoms or a specific problem. It recognises the interconnectedness of thoughts, feelings, physical health, relationships, and environment, aiming to promote balance and wellbeing across all areas of life.
Relationship Counselling –  Providing an objective, safe, non-judgemental and compassionate space for couples to work through challenges in your relationship. Develop a greater understanding of one another’s needs and learn effective strategies to improve your relationship. 
Clinical Hypnotherapy – Hypnotherapy is used to create subconscious changes in the form of new responses, thoughts, attitudes, behaviours or feelings. With hypnotherapy we can help you to give up smoking, lose weight, face your phobias, cure insomnia, eliminate your nervous habits, and so much more.
Life Coaching – If you want to identify what you really want in life, remove your obstacles and limitations, and develop an action-plan for achieving your goals, then our success and life coaching programs can help you!
PSYCH-K™ – A powerful method of transforming limiting beliefs into supportive beliefs at a subconscious level of the mind.  With a proven record of success for over 30 years, PSYCH-K can address deep issues and obstacles in all areas of life!
Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) – With NLP, we can teach you ways to change your thinking and behaviour to enhance your potential and consistently achieve excellence in whatever you do.
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) – EFT can allow us to gently realign your body’s energy system, without the need for acupuncture needles. EFT relieves many psychological and physical conditions, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, general stress, addictions and phobias.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) – If you are experiencing distress associated with traumatic memories or PTSD, EDMR is a very effective psychotherapy treatment. After successful treatment with EMDR, affective distress decreases, negative beliefs are reformulated, and physiological arousal is also reduced.
Psychology of Eating & Weight Loss (Nutritional Psychology) – Nutritional Psychology is the science of how nutrients affect mood and behavior. This field examines the relationship between food and your internal experience (thoughts, beliefs, emotions, memories, urges) and is useful for the treatment of binge eating, emotional eating, food cravings, weight loss etc.
Nutrigenomics (DNA Profiling) – Discover how foods affect your genes and how your genetic blueprint can affect the way you respond to nutrients (and other naturally occurring compounds) in the foods you eat, and adapt your lifestyle to suit your genes for optimal health.
Functional Diagnostic Medicine – Functional Medicine is patient-centered medical healing at its best. Instead of looking at and treating health problems as isolated diseases and symptoms, it treats the whole-person. The causes of the disease and its symptoms is an underlying dysfunction and/or an imbalance of bodily systems.
CoRe Inergetix Biofeedback and Bioresonance Therapy – The Inergetix-CoRe System is a highly sophisticated, customised and integrated informational and energy medicine device.  This cutting-edge scientific device can help us to improve your health and wellbeing on every level.
