Personal Approach
At Heart Expression, we encourage you to call to speak to a therapist for a 15 minute consultation. We will discuss your needs and challenges and if we both decide we are a good match, an appointment will be made swiftly to work with you, your child, your teenager, your partner, or your family. You become the focus, investing in yourself whereas sometimes in life, this is not always practical or possible.
Full Commitment
We are committed to your personal growth and emotional wellbeing. Our practice continues to grow a reputation of high service delivery with successful outcomes due to the difference we make in people’s lives. We aim to improve your overall health and wellbeing through psychological counselling and creative arts therapy, having high client satisfaction levels following our work together.
Empathic Therapists
Empathic attunement is paramount in therapeutic work to achieve the results we do with clients. After a series of sessions, you or your child may feel more empowered, more self-aware and more confident in decisions related to friendships, relationships and life challenges. We facilitate an interesting mix of therapeutic styles to enable forward movement in your healing journey.
