Sarah has a keen interest in the role of family and other significant relationships in recovery from addiction, but has experience in all aspects of general adult psychology such as anxiety, mood, loss, feelings of meaninglessness, relationship difficulties, and self-esteem issues. She is also a published author on the topic of personality and coping strategies in adolescents who self-harm.

Fiona has years of experience in helping people understand and change anxiety and depression. Emotions can be daunting. They need to be aired, listened to, then managed. Fiona uses therapy techniques (e.g. ACT, CBT, Transactional Analysis, EFT and EDMR) to bring about change in longstanding patterns, some of which are the result of past trauma. Together, defence mechanisms can be respectfully challenged so that behaviours that no longer serve you give way and change.
