“I have worked in the field of mental health with Becky for a number of years. I can attest, not only to her personal qualities of warmth, compassion and genuineness, but also to her high level of ethical and professional standards. Choosing to see a therapist is a big decision. Perhaps you have reached a point where you feel you need some guidance, feel stuck or want to move forward? I would highly recommend Becky as she is astute and has years of clinical experience. Becky has worked with people from many backgrounds, across the lifespan, who have struggled with a range of emotional, behavioural and interpersonal difficulties. I believe, with her therapeutic approach, you will gain clarity on the issues that led you to seeking therapy. Her aim is to teach you how your beliefs may be examined and replaced with thoughts and behaviours that ultimately give you freedom to live a more fulfilling and rewarding life. So I would recommend giving her a call. Even if the CBT approach isn't quite the right fit for now, Becky will be helpful in pointing you in the right direction to other services.”

“For over 4 years I go and see Joanna when something's happening to me or my family. And whether she does cranio-sacral therapy for me or our babies/kids, or somatic mindful psychotherapy, it's always very helpfull and enjoyable experience. Joanna is very sensitive and can get to the roots of the troubles. I cannot recommend anyone better then her.”

“It was the first time we met a consellor. My partner was not enthusiastic and pessimistic about meeting a consellor and share our life. He was not expecting any help (and also told me that it was probably a waste of time) . We only met Jan once, but it was actually really helpful. He explained us a lot about human behaviour and major differences that lead to conflict between men and women. He gave use tools to handle difficulties. it has been the best investment of time & even my partner admits that it has been really hepful. Thanks Jan for being dedicated as you did (he was definitely not after 15 min extra with no extra charge) and for handling your activity in an human way.”

“If you're looking for counsellors that values personal connection and true care, I highly recommend reaching out to BEAM Counselling, I think you'll be in good hands. Matt’s warmth and understanding really stood out to me - especially when it comes to relationship counselling”

“Where to start, Campbell is one in a billion, this guy has given me so many technical yet simple techniques to help me through some of life’s toughest challenges. Cannot recommend this man more, I’ve only had a hand full of experiences with therapy but nothing is on the level of how Campbell works with you on a personal, yet professional way. If you’re not really interested in therapy and don’t think it is for you, this is the guy to go to bring you confidence, not only in yourself, but in the sessions you have and the things you learn. 11/10.”

“I took my 12yr old daughter to see Pip to help with patterns that were negatively impacting her day to day school experience. Pip quickly identified what was creating this issue and supported her to reframe her thinking. This resulted in a noticeable positive change in my daughter’s life. Pip is super experienced and knowledgeable and has a lovely warm manner which created a safe space to open up and begin to heal.”

“Absolutely amazing service and the amount of them wanting to helps us shows that there are great people out there . Please don't abuse the services because it'll ruin it for those actually in need . Thank you to Kathie nicholson and antoniette . Amazing personal if you ever need help . They will definitely find a way to assist you . Thank you again”

“I fully endorse Andrew as a top rate councilor .To be fair as an old school ,blue collar worker ,probably a little skeptical about opening up to others in relation to personal matters, Andrew was personable, considerate ,and caring enough ,to be able to instill trust not only in myself but my wife in order for us to gain a better understanding of our natures. We have left now to hopefully carry on communicating in a far less confrontational manner ,to our mutual benefit best regards Glen”

“Outstanding environment & my councillor is fantastic.”

“Has taken me awhile to figure out how to post this :-) I saw Ali for quite some time for historic trauma counselling. Honestly what a game changer for me. Learning how to recognize some of my triggers & identify how emotions manifest physically in my body has allowed me to be more at peace & experience a level of calmness I've not had before. Ali always made me feel so comfortable & I will always be grateful I was guided to her. My partner at the time who is well connected in this field was advised that "she is one of the best" Thank you Ali x”

“Went to Salta Horses for a work team building day and had a wonderful time. My family has horses so it wasn't my first time around them, but they were so happy and relaxed. You can tell that Deirdre really loves what she does. She was very hospitable giving us a lovely morning tea as well. Definitely recommend!”

“Great relationship therapist, even when all is well in your relationship ❤️”

“I can only say great things about my experience with Tristen Pritchard through hypnotherapy. I was struggling and at the lowest of lows with constant painful anxiety every waking minute for over a year. And a few sessions with Tristen put me straight on to the path to recovery, these sessions sparked the healing I needed to recover by helping me trust myself again and my inner voice letting me know that everything is going to be okay. It’s been a year since I saw Tristen and my anxiety dissipated in a couple of weeks and I felt and continue to feel stronger than ever. Highly recommend Tristen as a fantastic hypnotherapist who is so easy to communicate with, non-judgemental and kind.”
