The WellBee’ing Lodge is a safe and warm environment for children, individuals, couples and families. It is a safe space both physically and psychologically to explore your emotional struggles. Working together at your own pace, we will work through your worries, anxieties, trauma, bereavement and losses.I believe we all have our answers within but sometimes we need a little help from someone that isn’t emotionally involved.
At the WellBee’ing Lodge i offer therapies in many therapeutic models , these are Person Centred Approach, CBT, DBT, Psychodynamic and TA.
Therapy will involve looking at your defence mechanisms, coping mechanisms, unhelpful patterns of behaviour and past traumas that may have occurred in your life. I will try to enable, working together, to facilitate change in your life. The result being that you have a greater awareness of your whole being - Resulting in you having a positive outlook in your life whilst also improving your mental health and wellbeing.
