Therapy

Why counselling or Psychotherapy?

Therapy is a relationship between a professional listener and someone who wishes to share their experiences in order to grow, develop and learn. As social beings we have an innate need to be heard, understood and validated; even when we are finding it difficult to understand ourselves.

The therapeutic relationship of trust, care, respect, confidentiality, non-judgement and compassion creates an environment of healing, growth and discovery.

Be it soothing, support, skills or learning that you hope to gain; counselling & psychotherapy provides an opportunity for you to invest in your emotional, physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing.

“Vivianne’s gentle and sensitive manner put me at ease from the outset. She was able to provide me with meaningful support and guidance and this enabled me to view my experiences from a different and often more positive perspective. I always felt reassured by the professional way in which Vivianne carried out her work.”
