about us

At Sage Centre, we believe in compassionate, evidence-based care that honours every individual’s journey.

​

Our team of highly trained clinicians brings extensive experience in mental health, trauma, and compulsive behaviours — including chemical dependency. But beyond qualifications, we’re united by a deep passion for helping people heal and thrive. We don’t just offer treatment — we offer a transformative experience. By creating a safe, supportive space, we empower our clients to rediscover their strength, reconnect with themselves, and move forward toward lasting change and a brighter future.

our concept

At Sage Centre, we believe wisdom is a way of life. Inspired by the timeless role of the sage, we guide individuals on their journey of healing, growth, and self-discovery. As a sanctuary for mental health, recovery, and personal development, we help you cultivate deep self-awareness and meaningful change. Our mission is to empower you to become your own sage — by addressing the psychological, emotional, and behavioural roots of your challenges. At Sage Centre, your journey to a healthier, more balanced future begins.

our approach to healing

At Sage Centre, we combine clinical expertise with deep compassion to support meaningful, lasting change. Here’s how we do it:

1) holistic mental health support

We treat the whole person — mind, body, and spirit — using evidence-based, integrative approaches tailored to each client’s life.

2) personalised treatment plans

No two journeys are the same. We create custom therapy plans that reflect your unique needs and goals.

3) diverse, evidence-based therapies

Our team uses proven methods like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET), Humanistic/Experiential therapy (including person-centered therapy and gestalt therapy), and Psychodynamic Therapy.

4) empowering education & inner work

We guide you inward — providing tools, knowledge, and insight to help you understand yourself more deeply and grow with confidence.

5) safe, non-judgemental space

Our centre is a sanctuary for healing. We offer a welcoming, judgment-free environment where you can truly be yourself.
