Therapy that meets you exactly where you are

Counselling, hypnotherapy, CBT and EMDR. You do not need to know which one you need. That is our job.

We know how this usually goes

Most people think about this for a long time before they get in touch

  • 1

    "It is probably not bad enough."

    It does not have to be. You do not need a crisis, or the right words, to start.

  • 2

    "I do not know what any of this is."

    Counselling, CBT, EMDR, hypnotherapy. We explain it in plain English, including what hypnotherapy is not.

  • 3

    "How do I know who is right for me?"

    Tell us what is going on and we will show you which of our fifteen therapists fits.

  • 4

    "What if I book and it is wrong?"

    Start with a free fifteen minute call. No pressure, no obligation, and we will move you if the fit is not right.

Whenever you are ready, the first step is a small one.

About the practice

A few things worth knowing
before you decide who to call

    Over twenty years in Fareham, under the same two directors.

  • BACP registered therapists

    Qualified, insured and supervised, and accountable to somebody other than us.

  • Award-winning

    Practice of the Year 2025, and Self-Help Book of the Year 2022 for our director's book.

  • 392 five-star reviews

    Left by people who were once exactly where you are now.

  • Fifteen therapists, not one

    So you are matched to the right therapist, not to whoever is free.
