About Genesis
Genesis Psychotherapy & Family Therapy Service provides affordable professional psychotherapy and family therapy in the community.

Over time, the organisation evolved into Genesis Psychotherapy & Family Therapy Service, continuing its commitment to accessible and professional therapeutic support within the community.

Together, we work to ensure everyone attending Genesis receives a thoughtful, professional and supportive service.
Our Team
How We Work
Our therapy centre offers daytime and evening appointments. We understand how important it is to feel comfortable and supported when attending therapy. Our centre is designed to provide a safe and respectful space for adults, children, young people and families.
When someone contacts Genesis, a member of our administration team will take some basic details and arrange an assessment appointment with a senior therapist. This assessment provides an opportunity to discuss what has brought you to the service, explain how Genesis works, and explore what support may be most appropriate.
Following assessment, clients are placed on a waiting list until an appointment becomes available with a suitable therapist.
Professionals and agencies are welcome to contact us to learn more about the service. However, the person wishing to attend therapy must make contact themselves.
