Always arguing?

Feel like you’re drifting apart?

Relationship and couple counselling can help people work through a wide range of relationship difficulties whether current, past or future.

You can come for relationship counselling on your own (even if you are not currently in a relationship) or with your partner. And you don’t have to wait till things reach crisis point, we’re here to help with any relationship problem no matter how small it may seem! Whatever the situation, you will be seen by a counsellor specially trained in relationship issues.

Have tried lots of diets but always put the weight back on?

Do you regularly overeat, comfort eat, binge or obsess about food?

If you’ve answered "yes" to the questions above, then Nu-Leaf can help you.

Most people think they overeat because they’re greedy or lack willpower, but this often isn’t true. Instead, it’s our emotions that make us turn to food so we can feel better - temporarily. The problem is most of us don’t make this connection!

So how is Nu-Leaf different? Well, it aims to help you understand WHY you overeat. Developed from a pilot programme in 2010, Nu-Leaf takes a psychological but personal approach to emotional eating, so you can work towards a more balanced relationship with food, not just for a few weeks, but for the rest of your life.
