The Team
     

The success of the company is largely down to the commitment, dedication and skill of the Psychologists, Counselors and Therapists that now make up Peninsula Primary Care. This success has also been significant in helping the company attract some of the best qualified staff who possess both the maturity and the clinical skill essential for working with people suffering with emotional and psychological difficulties. In addition to the skill and maturity we believe in a common sense approach and to this extent we maintain that all staff at Peninsula Primary Care are uncomplicated, pragmatic and easy to work with.
