About expertise and resources

/

The Palmeira Practice counsellors contribute to an ongoing collection of resources and articles on topics which can help you. They are focused on the issues of mental and emotional wellbeing, and understanding therapy.

Each therapist's articles are also promoted through their individual profile pages.

The Palmeira Practice brings together a range of expertise from different disciplines within therapy, meaning that our expertise and resource articles come from numerous different standpoints, from holistic approaches to specific approaches within a particular standpoint in therapy.

Every focus within therapy has its own merits, and through these articles you may get a better understanding of which focus fits you.
