Where we work
All work will be completed in your home or workplace. CWCC understands that life, and life’s successes and difficulties, do not occur within controlled and unfamiliar environments. Also, we believe that you will be more relaxed and that it will be more convenient to receive a service in your own home.
When assessed and part of a targeted plan, we undertake our interventions in “live environments”. A live environment means targeting your anxiety, frustration or difficulty in an environment that replicates where the difficulty occurs. * This will not be applicable for all people.
We understand that time is a precious commodity and that people live extraordinarily busy lives. That is why, in addition to providing face-to-face services we can provide additional services through skype or other video conferencing options. This ensures that we make it extremely easy for you to access your support wherever and whenever suits you.
Make you feel more relaxed and confident.
Identify key environmental factors that are not evident in a therapy room.
Eliminate the stress, worry and planning that can be assoicated with adhering to standard operating hours.
