Prioritising safety, choice, and empowerment, we guide clients to process painful memories and reshape unhelpful patterns that may have contributed to legal challenges.

Recognising links between trauma, attachment wounds, and addictive or self-destructive behaviours, we integrate compassionate inquiry, self-compassion practices, and relapse-prevention insights.
Emotional Integration
Through gentle experiential processes, we help reframe core beliefs sustaining suffering, fostering new neural pathways for resilience and adaptive coping.
Values-Based Living & Radical Self-Honesty
Encouraging alignment with personal values and authentic self-expression, we support you to uncover inner resources that sustain change beyond therapy sessions and court dates.

Steve is a hardworking professional, known for his charisma and ability to connect with others. He has built a solid career in sales, where his charm and confidence have helped him succeed. He loves spending time with his mates on weekends, enjoying the camaraderie and unwinding from the stress of a demanding job. However, beneath the surface, Steve is struggling. Over the years, he has relied on alcohol to manage stress and social pressure, but he recently decided to try cocaine with his friends as a way to cut back on drinking. What started as an occasional indulgence has started to spiral out of control. He now finds himself using cocaine more frequently and feeling increasingly dependent on it to function in social settings and cope with life’s pressures. To fund his growing habit, Daniel has been selling small amounts of cocaine to his friends. While he tries to justify it as harmless among mates, he’s becoming increasingly anxious about the potential legal consequences. The fear of getting caught and the impact it would have on his career and relationships weigh heavily on him. Steve is starting to feel the cracks in the confident persona he’s always maintained. His behaviour is becoming harder to control, and the shame of his choices is isolating him from the people he cares about most. Deep down, he knows he’s heading down a destructive path and needs to find a way to regain control of his life before it’s too late. Steve is searching for support to break free from this cycle, address his underlying struggles, and reclaim the stability and sense of self he once had.

How can Steve exit this cycle of behaviour for a reframed life?

Jennifer is a dedicated mother and a caring wife who loves her family deeply. For over 15 years, she has thrived as a respected and successful public servant, known for her professionalism, warm demeanour, and creative flair. She takes pride in being well-spoken and stylish, bringing a touch of elegance to her life despite her busy schedule. Although Jennifer’s life may appear well-balanced from the outside, she is quietly struggling to manage the stress of her demanding full-time role while juggling the responsibilities of being a devoted mother and supportive partner. Her perfectionism and commitment to others often leave little room for self-care, and she has started to rely on unhealthy coping mechanisms to manage the pressure. Jennifer finds herself overspending, drinking more than she’s comfortable with, and feeling increasingly out of control. These behaviours are beginning to strain her household finances and affect her professional performance, creating a cycle of guilt and shame that drives her further into self-sabotage. Despite her love for her family and her determination to succeed, Jennifer feels overwhelmed and unsure of how to break free from this destructive pattern. Jennifer is searching for a way to reclaim her sense of balance, rebuild her confidence, and create a life where she feels in control again—one that aligns with her values and honours her commitment to her family and herself.
