Counselling Therapies
Our experienced clinicians utilise a range of therapeutic approaches, including:
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping you embrace your thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them.
Through mindfulness and positive behaviour changes, ACT builds your ability to adapt, grow, and handle challenges with greater flexibility and resilience.​
Cognitive Behaviour
Therapy​
​Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely used approach focusing on identifying and challenging unhelpful thoughts and thinking patterns.
The goal of CBT is to help you recognise these negative thought patterns and replace them with more balanced and constructive ways of thinking.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is specifically designed to help manage intense emotions that can lead to challenging behaviours, such as impulsivity, self-harm, or difficulties in relationships.
DBT provides a practical toolbox of strategies to help navigate emotions more effectively.
EMDR
(Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing)
Using bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, therapists help activate the brain's natural ability to heal, allowing you to reprocess difficult memories and form healthier associations.
This process helps to lessen the emotional impact of those memories.
​
MANTRA
(Maudsley Model
of Anorexia Nervosa)
MANTRA is a specialised therapy designed to treat anorexia nervosa by targeting the emotional and psychological aspects of eating disorders.
​
This approach focuses on building motivation for change and helping clients gain a deeper understanding of the emotional triggers and underlying factors.​​​
​
RO-DBT
(Radically Open Dialectical Behavioural Therapy)
Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO-DBT) is an evidence-based treatment specifically designed for disorders characterised by excessive self-control, known as overcontrol.
RO-DBT emphasises increasing emotional openness, enhancing social connectedness, and fostering greater flexibility in thinking and behavior.
Schema
Therapy
Schema Therapy focuses on identifying and understanding maladaptive schemas, which are patterns of thinking and behaviour often stemming from unmet emotional needs in childhood.
Using a blend of cognitive, experiential, and behavioural techniques, schema therapy aims to break the cycle of these negative schemas.
​
Trauma Focused CBT
TF-CBT helps you to develop coping skills to manage distressing emotions, while also reducing trauma-related symptoms like anxiety and intrusive thoughts.
TF-CBT aims to promote healing by helping process trauma in a safe and supportive environment.​​
