Compassionate one-on-one counselling
Your Partner in Mental and Personal Wellness
Welcome to Cogniva Counselling
At Cogniva Counselling, we believe that understanding your mind is the first step toward meaningful healing and personal growth. The name Cogniva, inspired by cognition — the mental processes that shape how we think, feel, and perceive — reflects our commitment to combining evidence-based therapy with compassionate, person-centred support.
We offer individual counselling and mental health services for those navigating challenges such as stress, anxiety, trauma, and major life transitions. Every session is grounded in scientifically supported methods like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based approaches, and trauma-informed care, tailored to meet your unique needs and goals.
With a focus on warmth, trust, and professionalism, we’re here to support you in building resilience, finding clarity, and improving your overall emotional wellbeing. Whether you’re seeking personal growth or navigating a difficult time, you don’t have to do it alone — we’re here to help.

My approach is person-centred, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based methods such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), mindfulness, and motivational interviewing.
