“
I came in convinced I just needed to try harder. Six months later I sleep, I say no to things, and I like my own company again.
Individual therapy
“
We’d had the same fight for three years. Tom never took a side. Somewhere around the fifth session we started actually listening.
Couples therapy
“
Ruth let me be as sad as I was. Nobody else had done that. It sounds small, and it changed everything.
Bereavement counselling
“
Four breathwork sessions and I stopped waking at 3am. I still don’t fully understand why it works. It works.
Breathwork course

“
I’d put off calling for two years. The free call took fifteen minutes and I wish I’d done it sooner.
Individual therapy
“
Hannah didn’t hand me a diet. She asked about my week, my sleep, my job. The food part came last and it stuck.
Nutrition
“
Arjun was patient with things I’d never said out loud. The memories are still there; they just don’t run the day.
EMDR therapy
“
Online sessions from Inverness, and it never felt like a video call. Daniel made it easy to keep showing up.

Is this therapy or counselling?

Both. Counselling tends to be shorter and focused on something specific; psychotherapy can go deeper and longer. On your free call we’ll suggest what fits, and you can change your mind later.

How many sessions will I need?

Some people come for six to eight sessions with a clear focus; others stay for a year or more. You review progress with your therapist every few weeks and decide together.

Can I use private health insurance?

Some of our therapists are recognised by private medical insurers. Check what your policy covers, then mention it on your free call and we’ll tell you who can see you under it.

How do I know who to see?

You don’t need to. Tell us what’s going on and we’ll suggest one or two people. If the first session doesn’t feel right, we’ll help you switch, with no awkwardness.

Is what I say confidential?

Yes. Everything stays between you and your therapist, who discusses their work anonymously in clinical supervision. The only exception is a serious risk to your safety or someone else’s, which we explain at the start.

What if I need help urgently?

We’re not an emergency service. If you’re in crisis, call NHS 24 on 111, Samaritans on 116 123 at any hour, or 999 if your life is at risk.
