Stoa Therapy

Finding a 'good' therapist is no easy task, and the thought of opening up to a stranger is anxiety provoking; there’s no two ways about it. But then again, the comfort zone is where growth dies. Whatever is going on for you, here at STOA, we have experience in working with a wide-range of mental health presentations. We know how hard the decision to enter therapy can be. We aim to provide a calm, reflective, non-judgemental space where you can slow things down and get some clarity on how to move forward. Whilst we are experienced in providing a range of evidence-based therapies for a range of ‘mental health difficulties’, we know that for many people, things are less clear cut, and the things that they want to work on are more subtle. We take a tailored, individual approach to each client, or family we see. You may ask yourself, ‘Do I even need therapy?’. Chances are, if you’re asking the question, there is something we can help with. Therapy can help us to slow down, reflect, become clearer about where we want to go, and what steps it takes to get there. It’s an opportunity to grow. We believe in working from a strengths-based perspective, meaning that you do not have to have a 'problem' to benefit from our services. Emotion coaching for example, can benefit people who are functioning fine, but want to improve on their ability to regulate and navigate their emotions, and those of other people. This is helpful for those inevitable times when life throws challenges at us. We provide individual therapy with children, young people, and adults. We also offer family therapy and work with new parents (or experienced parents) who feel they need support to move forward in their parenthood journey. We have extensive experienced in supporting parents/families of those struggling with mental health or who are stuck in conflict. Our aim is to create a space where clients are able to express themselves, work through their challenges, and grow as individuals
