Choose a Psychologist and Book an Appointment

You can choose your psychologist here on our website. Find out more about them as people, their availability, reviews from previous clients, and everything else you need to know to find the right one for you. When you book your first appointment, you can choose whether to meet in person or online, or perhaps a combination. Choose an available time that suits you, and during the first meeting, you and your psychologist will agree on a treatment plan. Together, you can start making the difficult easier.

What set our therapist apart was her genuine empathy and personal insight. Not only did she possess a deep understanding of neurodiversity, but she also shared personal experiences that resonated with us, creating an instant connection and fostering a sense of trust!

Stress

Feeling stressed is completely normal, but when it gets out of control and affects our quality of life it is time to do something about it.

Depression

Sometimes we go through time of sadness, but if it persists and you find it difficult to enjoy things you previously did, it's a good idea to seek help.

CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a highly-effective treatment method that you may not have heard of. It is a talking therapy helpful for many different conditions.

Personal development

Sometimes we can feel as if we are standing still, or want to discover our potential. Whatever your motivation is, we can help you develop!

Self-esteem

How do you see yourself and deal with your successes, failures and goals? Building a balanced self-esteem and a strong self-image can be a challenge, but we can help you get there.

Coaching

You might feel out of touch with what once drove you, and feel it is now time to explore your full potential. Whatever your motivation is, we can help you on your path to growth. Here we look at coaching and how it works.

ADHD

Most of us know of someone with ADHD, but understanding what the diagnosis actually means might be unclear. Lavendla can help you with the answers!

ADD

Do you have trouble focusing, often make careless mistakes, and forget things? Or have you noticed similar traits in someone close to you? The cause could be Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD).

Autism

Do you have difficulty developing close relationships, struggle with unexpected change or have a high sensitivity to light, sound, taste or smell? These signs might indicate autism.

Supportive Counselling

Emotional support and guidance is often necessary during times of loss or other difficult life events. Here we look at supportive counselling and how to get treatment.

Doula

There are times when the type of support we need cannot be provided by friends and family, or even therapists and psychologists. What we need is something in between those, a doula.

Grief Management

It is easy to assume that grief will be short-lived and transient but that is often not the case. Our grief management service takes you through the different stages of grief and is adapted to your unique situation.
