Finding the Right Support

Person-Centred Therapy (PCT) offers a gentle, non-directive approach that values your child as a whole person. PCT focuses on nurturing self-worth, personal growth, and emotional resilience, providing a safe, non-judgmental space where your child can be truly seen, heard, and understood.

We know how much you care about your child's health and happiness, especially when they face emotional challenges.

PCT adapts to your child’s unique personality and needs, allowing them to explore their thoughts and emotions at their own pace.

Reaching out for help is a big step, especially when navigating public and private healthcare systems. Remember, you're not alone.

I like coming for counselling because people care about my interests. I feel better about myself between sessions. I would recommend other young people who are neurodivergent give it a try.

The therapist was mindful of my commitments, rescheduling as needed and always kept me updated. The venue is inviting, and while waiting I could relax. My granddaughter returned happy and chatty, her mood noticably improved. Thank you.
