Our Services
At The Stables, we provide a safe, supportive space where individuals can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment. Our counselling service is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and respect for each person's unique journey. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, or relationship challenges, we work with you to develop practical strategies and build emotional resilience.
We believe that healing happens through connection. Our approach is person-centred, trauma-informed, and neuroaffirming, tailored to suit each client's needs and preferences. Sessions may draw on evidence-based methods such as EMDR, Equine Supported Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness practices, and strength-based approaches.
We welcome clients from all walks of life, including children, adolescents, adults, and families. We also support NDIS participants with psychosocial disabilities to pursue meaningful goals and enhance their wellbeing.
We offer flexible appointment options, including face-to-face, phone, and online sessions. We are committed to making counselling accessible, inclusive, and genuinely helpful.
If you're looking for a counsellor who listens deeply, supports you authentically, and walks alongside you through life’s ups and downs, we’re here for you.
