We are a health institution that provides counselling services for individuals seeking help and guidance to resolve personal, social, or psychological problems.

Finding a therapist can be done through several avenues. You can consult your GP, search online, or ask friends and family for recommendations.

It's important to understand the distinctions between a counsellor, therapist, and doctor. A counsellor offers support and guidance on a range of issues but is not qualified to provide medical advice.

If you require medical advice and treatment, it is best to consult a doctor.
