What is Counselling & Psychotherapy?

Counselling is an umbrella term used to cover a range of talking therapies such as psychotherapy. The therapeutic relationship is unique to you and what you are looking to gain from therapy and it offers clients the opportunity to set aside time to talk, think and feel about whatever has brought you to therapy. This might be past or present life events, relationships, behaviours, feelings or emotions.

High Performance Psychotherapy

High achievement brings purpose, satisfaction, and recognition, yet it can also come with pressure, self-doubt, and emotional fatigue. The drive to perform, lead, and succeed can make it difficult to slow down, switch off, or find balance beyond work. Over time, this can lead to burnout, strained relationships, or questions about what truly matters.

High Performance Psychotherapy is designed for high-achievers who want more than success, they want inner alignment. Tailored for entrepreneurs, executives, athletes, and creative leaders, it blends peak performance psychology with deep emotional insight to help you manage pressure, prevent burnout, and navigate transitions such as redefining priorities or changing career direction.

This is a space to pause and reconnect with yourself — to explore the patterns, motivations, and beliefs that sit beneath achievement. Working integratively, we focus on sustaining performance while nurturing balance, wellbeing, and a more grounded sense of fulfilment, both professionally and personally.

Why do people have counselling?

There is a myth that individuals attend or are offered therapy when they have suffered an extreme traumatic event or who are suffering from severe mental illness.

In life, the reality is that most individuals experience change. Life can be a rollercoaster of transitions—some expected and others not. Change can be hard to deal with. Whether moving to a new city, starting a new job, or unexpectedly leaving a job or relationship, life can throw a curveball. Traumatic events can also occur: bereavements, health issues, to name a few. We can feel that we don't need to talk to anyone and that we can solve it ourselves, but the reality is that we are only human and things can spiral out of control at any time. It's at these times we need a little support.

Therefore counselling is available to anyone and everyone experiencing difficulties in themselves and their life; whether those difficulties are dissatisfaction and despondency in life in general or difficulty with feelings such as anxiety, stress, depression, grief or anger, etc. This includes those who may feel isolated or alone without a sufficient support network, even those who - although they have family, friends and a well-established framework - feel they need to talk to someone who is independent and objective.

Therapy offers a supportive space to process these experiences, explore your emotions, and find ways to adjust to new circumstances. Together, we can work towards understanding what each transition means for you and how to move forward with greater balance and confidence.
