Hello, I'm Murray. What do you want or need from therapy? Some people know, most people don’t. These are your sessions, so my role is to work with you to understand, to manage or to overcome your psychological concerns in way that is useful way for you. I am trained pluralistically, which means there is no one correct way to do therapy, because everybody is their own person, and different people need different things at different times.

I'm Kate, I'm an integrative counsellor; I work in a way that draws on a number of different approaches and models instead of working with one specific theory to meet your needs. I believe that life can be difficult sometimes and we all need someone to talk to when we are struggling. An empathetic therapeutic relationship can help you to identify and change areas of your life that are perhaps causing distress, anxiety, depression, and other related difficulties. I can provide an environment that is friendly and a safe non- judgemental space to help explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
