Services provided by Arkordia
Our fully-qualified practitioners offer a range of counselling and psychotherapy services as described below.
These are usually provided in face-to-face sessions at South Side Centre. In certain instances, we may be available to provide some services online.
Individuals
For individuals, We offer a supportive space in which clients can seek to express themselves and to gain insights into life experiences.
These include issues relating to stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationships, trauma, and confidence.
Expressions & Reflections
– A Creative Space for Wonder, Connection, and Change
Join our 15-week creative reflection group to explore self-awareness, emotions, and personal growth in a supportive space. Each hour-and a half session will take place every Wednesday between 15:15 and 16:45. Groups of four to six will take part in the sessions featuring unique themes, blending guided activities with open exploration.
Before joining, each participant will have an individual session to ensure suitability for the group and to prepare for the journey. Whether you’re seeking personal growth, clarity, or simply a space to reflect, this group offers an opportunity to gain new insights in a supportive environment.
Places in the group are limited and will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
If you are interested in being part of this group, please contact Akrordia as soon as possible.
Couples
For couples, we offer the opportunity to explore and examine issues and difficulties that have arisen in the course of the relationship.
We can provide the space to develop increased understanding of yourselves and your relationship, and to facilitate increased communication while maintaining healthy individual boundaries.
