Serenity / Neurofeedback
Serenity Neurofeedback is a sound based biofeedback technology which assists the brain to self regulate, improving brain function, flexibility and performance. Neurofeedback training takes advantage of neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to rewire itself.
Neurofeedback sessions are safe, pleasant and relaxing and work with the Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta and SMR brainwaves. The training has been demonstrated in research to assist the brain function of people suffering anxiety, depression, insomnia, memory problems, ADD, alcoholism and panic attacks. Serenity can also be used for peak performance training or to enhance and deepen meditation.
Flower Essences
Distillations of essences of flowers work on a subtle level to influence the psyche and emotions, gently awakening our natural life force and spiritual consciousness. Specific formulations are prescribed and drops taken each day, according to individual requirements.
Kinesiology Counselling
There is an initial counselling phase where the client identifies what they know about the issues or goal of concern. Kinesiology may consolidate or identify emotions hidden from the clients conscious awareness. These patterns may have originated early in our lives as a survival response. De-stressing the system at this primitive survival level (the amygdala); frees one up to react differently and make new choices. Sam is a trained counsellor and psychotherapist with specialist training in Couples and relationship counselling. Combining counselling theory with kinesiology can have a profound effect on healing and integration.
Couples Counselling
A Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy (PACT)
PACT was developed by Stan Tatkin (https://stantatkin.com).
Your relationship is one of the most important supports you can have in your life. We all want to feel safe and loved within our intimate relationships. Sometimes we forget this, or get distracted by our own assumptions about each other and how our relationship ‘should be’. This method of therapy focuses on reconnecting the couple by learning how to really listen, attend and understand each other’s perspective. Sessions are usually 2 hours in length.
Hypnotherapy Counselling

Clients are empowered to make effective changes in their lives by gaining better understanding of themselves. With a safe, confidential environment, clients have the opportunity to explore and experience new ways of being and behaving. Counselling is an investment in your personal growth and well being.
