I offer Mindfulness-Based Somatic (Body-based) Psychotherapy. This work is recognised as being a very effective way of both resolving problems from the past and the present. It can also be very helpful in learning to process your emotions in a grounded way, instead of feeling overwhelmed.

Roee Kohn
Roee Kohn
My approach is to LISTEN EMPOWER GUIDE, based on the ‘teach a person how to fish’ idea, I share strategies, tips and tools so that the client can better manage anxiety, stress and depression. My main counselling modality is strengths based counselling helping people learn to love themselves more, improve their self esteem and uncomplicate life’s challenges. I’m ultimately here to empower you and equip you with the tools for meaningful, long-term fulfilment. There’s no judgement and no jargon – just simple, compassionate and practical assistance tailored to you and your life goals.

Mr. Matthew Austin
Mr. Matthew Austin
Caring & non-judgemental counselling for LGBTQIA+ folk. You may have been feeling bad about yourself and have noticed that you have been acting in inauthentic ways. Perhaps you are worried others won’t accept the real you. It’s been difficult to share your self-critical thoughts with others. I help LGBTQIA+ folk with non-judgmental and caring space to explore and better understand their distress. By creating a safe space between us we can begin to understand how feelings of shame have been shaped by trauma in relationships. Through increased self-understanding, you can connect with a kinder version of yourself and get clear about where you hustle for self-worth and connection.

Ms Margie Ireland
Ms Margie Ireland
Margie has a deep interest in Mental Health, largely due to losing her 69-year-old father to Mental Health difficulty in her teens. She then lost her brother who was also struggling. These events led to a strong interest in supporting Men – not only with building their sense of self-worth, but also their personal and professional potential. In a previous life Margie trained as a performer (but realised she could neither sing or act!), and still draws on this background when running workshops and presentations. A self-described fitness fanatic, out of hours Margie enjoys spin cycling, yoga, mindfulness, writing and mystery documentaries.
