Psychotherapy and counselling

We support people experiencing mental health issues, psychosocial problems, and developmental disabilities to cope with life’s stresses and reach their goals. Our practice considers biological, psychological, social and developmental factors.

Behavioural Skills Training

We take a strengths-based view and teach practical skills through Behavioural Skills Training (BST): a set of intervention components that close skill gaps linked to a meaningful life.

Applied Behaviour Analysis and Positive Behaviour Support

Our behaviour analytic approach uses principles of learning to address behaviours of concern and improve adaptive functioning. Read more about ABA and PBS on their own pages.
