for your journey through life
Professional and caring counselling & psychotherapy
Guiding you safely through life's challenges
Welcome to NorthStar
Counselling, CBT and psychotherapy for children, adolescents and adults
The North Star is a symbol of inspiration, hope and personal growth. When we find our NorthStar we know which direction we're heading. We are all on a journey through life and sometimes we face challenges that can steer us off course. Just as the North Star is a guiding light for wayward travellers, so too is our internal NorthStar like a compass guiding us. Sometimes we lose sight of our journey and we reach out for guidance. That's when we at NorthStar are here to help - to guide you safely through life's challenges.
Our team is here to support you.

We work with all conditions and all ages
Children
Face to Face counselling
We offer therapeutic supports to children aged 4 - 12. This facilitates the development of self-esteem, supports emotional health and growth and assists children in decision making, problem-solving and learning effective coping skills. This helps the child to become more focused and confident. >> Read more
Teens & Adolescent
Face to Face counselling
Teenage years can pose challenges for many young people. Psychotherapy helps them to understand what is happening and how to make sense of their ever-changing thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Working with a therapist can help them find space to voice their concerns and to explore ways to positively support themselves. >> Read more
Adults
Face to Face counselling
Counselling enables you to deal with issues that are causing distress in your life either from the past or the present. It can help you identify negative or faulty thinking patterns that lead to unhelpful choices. It helps you focus on making changes to improve your quality of life.
