WE THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX
Whether you need a top up or a new approach — we can help. We offer both online and some limited in-person psychology services so you can receive guidance and treatment wherever you feel most comfortable.
Our psychologists are experienced in a wide range of treatment modalities so you never have to feel uncomfortable engaging in an approach that’s not right for you. We understand that there’s no standard protocol for everyone, and we provide you with a personalized treatment plan that ensures you are set up for long term success.
1. Rewriting the Current Medical Narrative
This aims to rewrite the current medical narrative. We believe in preventative medicine and proactive health and therefore work to minimise and mitigate emotional and behavioural risk factors. Our goal is to tackle stress and emotional concerns before they escalate, fostering a resilient mindset in individuals.
2. Psychology for Everybody
Psychology should be accessible to everyone. We strive to provide tools, exercises, and understandings, not only for those navigating mental health challenges but for all individuals. We aim to empower everyone to nurture their mental health proactively and take a holistic approach to mental wellness.
3. The Neurophysiology of Thoughts and Emotions
We seek to explore the intricate interactions between our emotions, thoughts, behaviours and physical body. Our aim is to understand and communicate about the tangible bodily responses elicited by our intangible thoughts and feelings.
4. The Stress Response
Explaining its dual role in human wellbeing. Stress can act as a protective mechanism, but an overactive stress response can lead to chronic conditions and accelerated ageing. We guide individuals to redefine what stress is, understand the many contributors to stress, recognise their stress levels, and improve management skills thus improving overall wellbeing.
5. Wellbeing in a World with Warts
Our culture and society often create the stresses we must endure. We are part of bigger systems which impact who we are and our functioning, and this must be considered in any individualised formulation of wellbeing. Intergenerational trauma passed down from our families also influence the way we see and interact with the world around us. The world is both a dangerous and magical place, and our personal relationship to it must be explored.
6. The Shape of Our Past
We believe that our experiences influence our perception of the world and our present behaviour. The brain is a predictive machine needing previous learning to hypothesise what will happen next. By understanding the neurophysiology of our brains shaped by past experiences, we help individuals recalibrate their perspectives and improve their mental health.
