Areas of Interest

We have extensive experience with decades of work in the helping professions and specialist counselling psychotherapy and person-centred strength-based behaviour support. We’ve collectively published well over 250 works, including many peer reviewed papers and books.

We work with a range of issues and people, from all walks of life, and our clients continually reflect a five star evaluation of our efforts. We have also received ‘Best Practice’ independent external audit reviews by government registered auditors.

As senior specialists with doctoral qualifications, and with published research outcomes over the years including books and professional articles - our work with clients often focuses on facilitating change and growth, co-creating solutions and therapeutic planning.

For well over three decades of clinical work we’ve developed interests in many areas including,
