People come to us with all kinds of things.
Anxiety that won’t switch off. Burnout. A relationship stuck in the same argument. Grief, trauma, a new baby, nights without sleep.
Often what tips someone into booking is small. You snap at someone you love. You read the same email five times.
Some people arrive with a clear goal, others with “something has to change.” Each of our registered therapists has their own training and focus, so we suggest someone suited to what you describe.

What we believe about therapy
Most people come to therapy to work on something specific. That’s where we start. Often the conversation also turns to what matters to you and how you want to live.
We see good therapy as both an art and a science. The science keeps us honest: approaches with evidence behind them, and therapists with real training. The art is in the relationship: a therapist who remembers what you said three weeks ago, notices when you change the subject, and has room for grief, humour and the bigger questions.
Our therapists won’t hand you someone else’s idea of a good life. They’ll help you work out what a better life looks like for you, then work toward it with you.
What we can help with
Individual counselling
Couples counselling
For the argument you keep having, and the distance that builds around it.
EMDR therapy
A structured approach to trauma that doesn’t ask you to talk through every detail.
Somatic therapy
Body-based work that pays attention to what you feel physically, as well as what you think.
Brainspotting
Uses where you look to help you work through trauma and stress.
Maternal mental health
Pregnancy, postpartum, loss, and the shift into parenting.
CBT-I for sleep
A structured, evidence-based approach to insomnia.
Burnout
For exhaustion that a weekend off doesn't touch.
What to expect when you start
How sessions work
Sessions are on secure video, so you can join from wherever you have some privacy: home, a parked car, an empty office at lunch. Individual sessions are 50 minutes and cost $150 to $200, depending on the therapist. Couples sessions are usually 60 or 75.
The first session
Mostly, you talk. Your therapist asks questions and listens. You get into what’s been going on and what you’d like to be different. By the end, you both have a sense of what to work on first. If it doesn’t feel like a fit, tell us and we’ll suggest someone else.
A steady rhythm
Studies suggest therapy tends to move faster when sessions are weekly, especially early on. You and your therapist set the schedule together, usually weekly or every two weeks.
Why we’re called The Dot
In 1990, Voyager 1 looked back from about six billion kilometres away and photographed Earth as a single pale blue dot. Carl Sagan wrote about that picture: “That’s here. That’s home. That’s us.” Our name comes from it.
Seen from that far away, every life happens in the same small place, connected to everything around it. Often, what brings someone to therapy is tied to something beyond themselves: a person, a hope, something they want, something they haven’t finished.
We treat everyone who comes to us with dignity. We treat mistakes as part of learning. And we look for progress you can actually notice in your week.
