Hi, and welcome to Onyx!
Now, we could bore you with all the “psychobabble” but instead, let’s talk about you … if your first reaction to the thought of talking about yourself was anxiety or thoughts like“I don’t know what to say” or “where do I begin?”then don’t worry, these are completely understandable responses.
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”
Talking about yourself and the challenges you have faced takes courage, but the good news is, you have already taken the first step just by being here.
Therapy is a chance to tell your story and have your voice heard. Let us help shine the light on your journey for personal growth and mental wellness.
Why us?
Onyx helps those struggling with emotional distress, unhelpful thoughts or behavioural patterns, as well as those on a journey of self-development. We embrace an authentic and caring approach so that you may re-establish balance to your life and feel empowered by who you are.
Given our unique experiences of military life and international aid work, we have both been fortunate enough to have been immersed by cultural diversity.
Get to know us
Onyx is a family affair with a father-daughter duo who share a similar philosophy about life and connecting with others (though we can assure you it was anything but smooth sailing getting us to the point of working together. Fortunately, we’ve each had a lot of therapy!).
After leaving the military, Peter decided he wanted to give back and support his brothers and sisters in arms by training to become a therapist and work with veterans and those in the services.
Fay, who attended a military boarding school, grew up seeing the impact of military life from a very different perspective. This influenced her studies where she went on to specialise in military and civilian trauma.
These unique insights allow us to understand the complexities of military life as well as other frontline professions. Together we have experience supporting those working within the military, HM prison and probation services, the ambulance service, humanitarian organisations as well as those in the homeless community.
