A spiral is a universal symbol of change and the journey of life. This journey does not follow a straight line. Instead, it often takes us back to familiar places, which we revisit from a different and deeper angle each time. A spiral is about progress and evolution.
Psychotherapy and psychological knowledge aim to reverse a downward emotional spiral, where people can feel stuck. Then, things we did not think were possible start to happen.
Our mission to is accompany individuals, couples, professionals, and organisations to their journey of change and growth. We endeavour to respect the uniqueness of each journey, create a sense of security, help people prepare for what is ahead, and influence the world around us on the way.
OUR VALUES
We are unique:
one-size therapy does not fit all
There are many treatment modalities out there and each has its own merits. We draw upon a range of treatment modalities, principles and techniques. We think that therapy needs to be matched to your unique needs and preferences.
We don’t stay still:
change-orientated work
Things change and flow all the time. Psychological work may focus on changing a distressing situation or helping us accept an unwanted change in our life circumstances. We have great confidence in people’s inherent capacity to change, adjust and evolve.
We need competent hands to rely on:
evidence-based practice and beyond
For therapy to be effective you need to trust the process. For this to happen, you need a skilled therapist who truly wants to understand you. We adhere to professional standards of care (HCPC) and draw upon the latest research to guide our practice.
We are not an island:
engagement & awareness
We are interested in what is happening in our lives outside the consulting room. Training professionals and organisations and engaging the public can cultivate a culture promoting emotional well-being. We strive for a mentally fit and compassionate world.
