Therapy
Effective therapy results from the healing relationship between therapist and client in the context of a safe, confidential and caring environment. The enpowering rapport between client and therapist creates lasting changes. Changes in communication skills, confidence, understanding and flexibility translate to relationships outside the consultation room at work and home and in the community.
