“Because You are the One that Matters”

It can often be daunting to tackle life's challenges alone, and reaching out for help takes a lot of bravery. Whether you're facing a specific issue or grappling with deeper questions about yourself and your place in the world, we at Toad Counselling are here to offer our support. 

We believe in approaching therapy with empathy, compassion, and warmth. Our goal is to provide thoughtful guidance and insight while empowering you to take meaningful steps towards greater self-worth and healthier relationships. Our focus on resilience and present-mindedness will help you navigate change and consciously build the life you want.

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or frustrated is a common experience for many of us. It can feel like we're stuck in a rut and unable to move forward. At Toad Counselling, we understand the difficulties of navigating these emotions, and we offer an inclusive and non-judgmental space where you can share your thoughts and feelings.

We prioritise confidentiality, and we know that privacy is critical to our clients' well-being. Our private therapy sessions are not recorded in any medical files or records, so you can feel comfortable expressing your concerns.

We have worked with individuals of all ages, including children and those on the autism spectrum, in our quest to help our clients create a fulfilling and content life. If you're looking to make a change and seek support, we encourage you to reach out to us. Let's work together to help you move forward.
