Are you looking for different counselling approach to support your mental health?
At Obsidian we do things a little bit differently... Curious?
We recognise and acknowledge that you are an individual with your own concerns unique to you that may be impacting on your mental health.
We also know that you are more than just your mental health 'symptoms or diagnosis' and support you from an holistic, person-centred, biopsychosocial perspective, and not the 'medical model' of mental health.
We don't believe in a one size fits all therapy model and tailor our counselling style to suit you and your individual circumstances which includes looking at the biological, psychological, social and lifestyle factors that may be impacting on your mental health.
The best outcome for your mental health well-being is speaking with a Counsellor sooner rather than later and we don't believe in waiting lists.
ALL NEW CLIENT'S CAN BE SEEN WITHIN 7 DAYS of INITIAL CONTACT WITH US!!!
