How can we help you
At The Hummingbird Centre we endeavour to provide you with an experience that is empowering. One important element of therapy involves helping you to understand the causes of your problems and to learn tools and strategies to change. Another important element is forming a warm and respectful relationship with a therapist. This can provide a space away from the everyday pressures of your life in which to explore and understand yourself, and to gain new perspectives and vantage points on your life.
We offer warm compassionate client-based therapies with a strong evidence base to meet the individual needs of our clients. We welcome children and adults.

Reasons Why Therapy Can Be Helpful
Many people think that therapy is something that is only for people who are facing a crisis or major mental health difficulties. While it is true that therapy can be very effective in assisting people to cope with crises and improve mental health, there are other ways that therapy can be helpful. These include:
- To learn about or understand themselves, others, or situations better
- To work through problems
- To work on relationships with family, friends, partners, colleagues, or others
- To adjust to change
- To be seen and heard
- To get an alternative perspective
- To optimise health (mental, physical) and wellbeing
- To gain insight
- To learn how to set boundaries
- To assist with decision making or problem solving skills
- To process life events
- To learn how to deal with one’s own and/or others’ emotions
- To understand how to support others who are experiencing difficulties
- To work on parenting with a non-judgemental stance
- To change unhelpful patterns or habits
- To speak to someone objective
- To improve their ability to cope
- To improve motivation
- To identify and work on plans, goals and aspirations
- To talk to someone knowing that their discussions will be kept private
- To get support to navigate major life transitions
Our clinicians at The Hummingbird Centre are skilled and experienced in assisting people to identify and address depression and improve their quality of life.
