Counselling Therapies Available
Our experienced psychologists use a variety of Therapy Types, including:
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
CBT helps identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns that contribute to distressing emotions. It provides practical strategies like cognitive restructuring, mindfulness, and problem-solving to manage emotions effectively. By reframing thoughts and developing healthier coping mechanisms, individuals gain better emotional control and resilience, improving overall well-being.
Interpersonal Therapy
Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) is designed to help manage interpersonal difficulties by improving communication and relationships. It supports both individuals and families in fostering social well-being. IPT focuses on unresolved grief, role conflicts, role transitions, and social isolation, helping individuals navigate life changes and build healthier, more supportive connections.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a modern form of cognitive and behavioral therapy that helps individuals manage negative emotions more effectively. By fostering psychological flexibility, ACT encourages mindfulness, acceptance of thoughts and feelings, and commitment to personal values, empowering individuals to lead a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) helps individuals manage intense emotions that often lead to disruptive behaviors. It provides skills in distress tolerance, emotional regulation, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. By learning these techniques, clients can better cope with stress, navigate relationships, and create positive, lasting changes in their lives.
Schema Therapy
Schema Therapy helps address various mental health concerns by identifying deep-rooted, unhelpful thought and behavior patterns formed due to unmet childhood needs. It supports clients in recognizing and reshaping these patterns, fostering healthier coping mechanisms, and developing more adaptive ways to meet emotional and psychological needs in adulthood.
Trauma Focused CBT (TF-CBT)
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is an evidence-based approach designed to help individuals of all ages cope with the effects of trauma. It provides strategies to manage distressing symptoms, process traumatic experiences, and develop healthy coping behaviors, fostering emotional healing and resilience in a supportive and structured manner.
