Psychology is the study of how we think, feel, and behave—and how those patterns shape our relationships, decisions, and wellbeing. Psychology is not about labelling or fixing people. It’s about understanding what’s going on beneath the surface, and using that understanding to create change.

​

Working with a psychologist gives you a space to pause, reflect, and make sense of what you’re experiencing—whether it’s stress, relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, past trauma, parenting challenges, or just feeling stuck (which all neurodiverse and neurotypical people experience). You’ll learn how your mind works, how to regulate emotions, shift unhelpful patterns, and build healthier ways of coping and relating.

​

The real benefit of psychology is insight—and from insight comes choice, freedom, and growth.

​

Counselling in psychology is a service provided by a trained professional who can skillfully, apply the art of talking and listening to help people unpack, understand and resolve their presenting issues. Effective psychology integrates a variety of therapies and strategies to build a respectful, trusting, supportive and professional interpersonal relationship between the therapist and the client.  

​​

Remember though, psychology and counselling is not a 'one-size-fits-all' mode of working. Each session is carefully tailored to each individual with an element of flexibility allowing for the exploration of new issues or further work on resolving previous ones. 

Sessions can be face to face, online videocalls, in couples, groups or individual and, in workplaces. 

​

​To get the most from your sessions consistent appointments are recommended (e.g. fortnightly) and booked ahead to avoid missing out on preferred times and to ensure you commit to growing psychologically for yourself - though there's no pressure to do so - it's just recommended. 

It is also worth noting that psychology and counselling is not a quick fix and that your therapist will not tell you what to do. The art and process of psychology requires your courage, a strong relationship between you and your therapist and dedication on your part - together these elements create a successful method to help you resolve your issues. 

Be courageous.  Make an appointment. 

And remember Yazz said: The only way is up!

HOW CAN PSYCHOLOGY HELP?

​

Individuals
Psychology helps people understand themselves more deeply—why they feel, react, or struggle the way they do. It offers practical tools to manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or big life transitions. It supports growth in self-awareness, confidence, emotional regulation, and decision-making.

​

Couples
For couples, psychology provides a safe space to communicate openly, understand each other’s needs, and repair patterns that may cause conflict or disconnection. It supports rebuilding trust, strengthening intimacy, navigating parenting differences, or moving through major life stages together.

Families
Psychological support can improve family communication, reduce tension, and help parents and children understand one another better. It’s especially helpful during times of stress, change, or if someone in the family is facing mental health or behavioural challenges. Psychology brings clarity, strategies, and emotional connection back into the home.

Workplaces
In workplaces, psychology enhances team dynamics, leadership, and wellbeing. It helps address issues like burnout, poor communication, conflict, and change fatigue. It also supports high performance by building emotionally intelligent leadership, psychological safety, and a more engaged, resilient workforce.
