Mental illness refers to a wide range of mental health conditions — disorders that affect your mood, thinking and behaviour. Examples of mental illness include many of the listed primary concerns below, such as depression, anxiety disorders and stress.
Primary concerns can also extend to bi-polar disorder, schizophrenia, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), eating disorders and addictive behaviours.
Many people from time to time may suffer from a mental health condition. Ongoing signs and symptoms should never be ignored, as if not treated can affect your ability to function.
Having a mental illness can make you miserable and can cause problems in every aspect of your daily life, such as work productivity or the way you connect with your partner, your family, your friends and colleagues.
In most cases, symptoms can be managed with a combination of prevention strategies, approaches, treatments and therapies supervised by a mental health counsellor.

Poli is truly a gifted and extraordinary visionary. Her humble character truly is an outstanding quality. Poli has a unique approach of being able to pinpoint the problem quickly and lead the individual to clarity and deep awareness. My personal experience has been enlightening and enabled me to shift through deep emotional blocks quickly. I rarely use the word Guru, yet in this case I would describe Poli as an enlightened Guru of soul blueprints, who truly is servants heart for those seeking deep insights and emotional healing. |

The moment you meet Poli, you feel her warmth and energy around you like a big hug. Poli has played an integral role in helping me navigate this thing we call “life”… her guidance brings logic and comfort to the ebbs and flows of our journey and there is no one else I’d want as my beacon of light through it all. From the very bottom of my heart, with infinite gratitude, always- T x |

I have been searching for years for a genuine counsellor that has the knowledge and expertise that Poli has. She is as genuine as they come, tells it as is it and has the knowledge to back it up while still remaining caring and compassionate. I feel very lucky to have been supported by Poli at a time when it made a world of difference. I feel like I owe her so much. Thank you for everything Poli, your support has meant more than you will ever know. We need more people like this in the world. |

After years of talking therapy, with not many results, Poli was recommended to me. She has an ability to empathise like no professional I have met, which did finally produce results. |

I had the opportunity to do peer coaching with Poli and she truly comes with a wealth of experience in this space. She is a highly intuitive coach, she can draw out what is underlying behind the problem. Thank you, Poli! |

Poli’s extensive knowledge, experience, care and compassion are the gifts she brings to every session where she gently guides me to explore and question things that are challenging me or holding me back. For me, each session builds on the last and I feel so privileged to have found Poli to help me become the best version of myself. I can’t thank you enough Poli for everything you do and all that you are. 🌻 |

Poli is a very skilled and compassionate professional who has allowed me to speak freely, without judgement. She is helping me understand the root cause of my actions and reactions.

Poli is very rare in her field. She has the ability to analyze the situation and know exactly what is going on. Through her extensive clinical experience, she allows the patient to observe himself sincerely. Poli has the ability to change your life! Highly recommended!!! |

I’ve been a patient here for a few years, particularly of the psychology department with Poli. To say I have found it extremely beneficial is an understatement. I have developed skills and an understanding of myself that is difficult to describe. But has had a monumental impact on my life. Starting out with high levels of anxiety and depression, my ability to control my emotions and harness abilities more effectively has seen positive aspects in my social life, relationships, work life and studies. I would recommend this clinic to anyone who wants to solve their problems, improve their life and or more effectively and efficiently communicate. |
