Why?
Because shared experiences make us feel better, and there’s nothing like a good conversation to inspire and heal.
We know having a genuine connection with your therapist is crucial.
And that you need to be understood. No judgements. No conditions.
That’s why we listen deeply to your experience.
It’s why our practice is an honest space where real conversations happen –
somewhere you can safely explore who you are, what has happened,
and where you want to go.
It’s why, from the moment you enter our space, you’ll have choice at every
step of your healing journey.
Connecting with our clients is a top priority.
We know adversity and trauma can impact anyone, at any time.

NOT SURE COUNSELLING OR YOGA-THERAPY IS FOR YOU?
If you’ve tried therapy or yoga before and it didn’t feel right, you may not have found the right therapist.
Connecting with our clients is a top priority.
“After seeing a counsellor for nearly 20 years I was reluctant to start again with someone new. I can’t believe how much I have learned and grown in the first year with Nerine. From the calming and safe environment to the light technique, I’m so lucky to have her. Nerine is helping me to discover my strength and find the ‘me’ I want to be.”
