Therapies we offer

  • CBT

    Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a type of therapy that looks at your thoughts, feelings and behaviours and helps to change some of these to manage your problems.
    CBT aims to help you deal with overwhelming problems in a more positive way by breaking them down into smaller parts.

  • EMDR

    EMDR is an acronym for 'Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing'

    The predominant aim is to release the individual from challenging thoughts from the past and to subsequently enable adaptive responses to be possible in the present so that the disturbing memory is no longer emotionally distressing. The person will remember the event rather than re-experience it.

  • Compassion-Focused Therapy

    Compassion-focused therapy (CFT) aims to help promote mental and emotional healing by encouraging people in treatment to be compassionate toward themselves and other people

    CFT looks to help those who struggle with shame and self-criticism. Often these can be the driving forces behind other mental health conditions like anxiety and depression.

  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

    Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) but it's specially adapted for people who feel emotions very intensely.

    DBT may be used to treat borderline personality disorder (BPD) and people who struggle with emotional instability.

  • Solution-Focused Brief Therapy

    This therapy promotes positive change rather than dwelling on past problems. Practitioners will encourage you to focus positively on what you do well, set goals and work out how to achieve them. Just three or four sessions may be beneficial.

  • ACT Therapy

    Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT, said as one word), is a type of psychological therapy that can be used in the management of conditions such as anxiety, pain and depression.

    ACT uses principles from mindfulness and cognitive behavioural therapy and rather than trying to help you to alter your thoughts and feelings, encourages you to become more aware of your thoughts, feelings and beliefs and the helpful and unhelpful ways you respond.
