One to one Treatments
Counselling
The counselling
process is unique to each
individual in their personal
circumstances. We can help you
to understand and manage your
feelings, thoughts, reactions
and behaviour and improve
your problem solving
and coping skills.
Therapeutic
Massage
Through this process we can
learn where tension is held, how
patterns and pain develop in the body,
and how to work towards releasing
these. It can be a very rewarding and
nourishing treatment, releasing tension
and anxiety, and improving overall
wellbeing. Other treatments can
be used in conjunction with
therapeutic massage.
Relaxation
Personal time is
important. Focused
relaxation teaches people
how to relax and remain
relaxed in stressful
situations.
Case Work
Case work is to help people at risk of suicide or
self harm to regain stability in their lives. We
also work in partnership with a wide range of other
services to assist clients who have additional support
needs, e.g. debt advice.
