Description

Safe Place Therapy Podcast talks about ways to improve your mental health with a focus on relationships, LGBTQ life, and neurodiversity.

We believe that the most important things in therapy are feeling safe and being heard. As a team of highly experienced and committed practitioners, we are known for our commitment to providing counselling services that is client-centred, safe, professional, affordable and flexible.
