Therapy

Your therapy will be planned and delivered based on your individual strengths, needs and goals.

Therapy will focus on the things that are important and meaningful to you, helping to make intervention relevant to your everyday life.

Therapy sessions are available in 30, 45 and 60-minute appointments. The most appropriate session length will depend on your individual needs, goals and type of intervention.
