Why prioritise your mental health?
Your mental health really is the secret to living a more balanced, joyful life.
It helps you manage stress, become more resilient, foster better relationships, and unlock your true potential.
Psychotherapy and Counselling for the Modern Age
Therapy offers emotional support through difficult times by helping you gain insight and a better understanding of yourself and your life situation.
It illuminates new perspectives and the possibilities and choices available to you to move forward with your life.
Online mental health services offer convenient access to professional support, breaking down geographical barriers. They provide anonymity, flexibility, and affordability, making mental health support more accessible and inclusive, and empowering individuals to take control of their well-being.
Our Approach : Existential and Humanistic Psychology
Existential and humanistic psychology is about getting to know people as complete individuals, celebrating what makes them unique, and understanding how they experience their own world.
These approaches recognize that we all exist within a mix of historical, social, and cultural influences that shape our lives and decisions. Life is seen as a journey filled with both joyful moments and challenging times. Our challenges are not about personal flaws, but are simply part of the human experience.
In these approaches, people are viewed as a beautiful whole, not just a collection of parts. They go beyond simple labels or fixed characteristics.
In therapy, the focus is on exploring an individual’s personal challenges and their view of the world. The goal is to help them find meaning, align with their values, and lead more fulfilling lives. It’s all about understanding and supporting each person’s unique journey.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are you curious about online therapy but have questions or reservations? You’re not alone. The world of mental health support has evolved, and online therapy, also known as teletherapy or telehealth, is becoming increasingly popular. This FAQ is here to address the concerns and uncertainties you may have about this approach to seeking help for your mental health. Whether you’re wondering about its effectiveness, privacy, or how to choose the right therapist, we’re here to provide answers and guidance, making your journey towards online therapy a little less uncertain and a lot more comfortable.
Many individuals wonder about the effectiveness of online therapy, and it's completely understandable. You should know that online therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy for various mental health concerns. Your comfort with the format and the quality of the therapist matter most.
Therapy can be effective in addressing a wide range of mental health issues.
Some of the common mental health concerns that therapy can help with include:
- Coping with stress and life changes
- Support with life transitions, including relocation, starting a family, retirement or children leaving the nest and ageing.
- Self-development and examining one’s life direction.
- Anxiety Disorders, including social, performance and generalised anxiety.
- Panic and Phobias
- Personality Disorders
- Mood Disorders
- Depression
- Eating Disorders
- Stress Management
- Managing workplace and work-related stress and improving job satisfaction
- Relational difficulties, including family conflict, marital issues, and divorce.
- Parenting difficulties
- Substance Use and Addictions, including behavioural addictions such as gaming addiction.
- Trauma, PTSD, and addressing the effects of trauma and promoting healing
- Self-Esteem and Self-Image
- Building self-confidence and a positive self-concept
- Anger Management and developing healthier ways to express and manage anger
- Grief and Loss, as in coping with the death of a loved one, other significant losses or generally unacknowledged losses
- Sexuality and Gender Identity Issues
It's important to note that therapy is highly individualised, and different therapeutic approaches may be used to address these and other mental health concerns. The choice of therapy type and duration will depend on the specific needs and preferences of the individual seeking help.
Your concerns about privacy and confidentiality are valid and important. It's essential to emphasise that reputable online therapy platforms take privacy seriously. They use secure and encrypted communication to safeguard your personal information, just as they do in traditional therapy settings.
Understanding the technology requirements is essential, and seeking this information is okay. You'll need a computer or smartphone with a reliable internet connection and a webcam to engage in online therapy. You will be provided with a secure link to attend your meeting. However, for therapy to be effective, you need a private and quiet space away from interruptions while attending your session.
It's okay to have these concerns, and you're not alone in wondering about this.
Building a meaningful therapeutic relationship is a fundamental part of therapy. Many individuals worry about connecting with their therapist online, and that's absolutely normal. While it may be different from in-person interactions, many people find that they can form a strong therapeutic bond with their online therapist through consistent communication and a sense of trust.
