Services
Cognitive-behaviour therapy
Cognitive-behaviour therapy (CBT) addresses current difficulties by modifying unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related disorders, typically delivered in 6-12 sessions. Clients actively apply techniques learned in therapy to achieve measurable improvements in daily life.
Counselling
Counselling provides a non-judgemental space to explore emotional challenges such as grief, relationship issues, and self-esteem. Our practitioners support clients in gaining insight into their feelings and developing strategies to enhance personal wellbeing and relationships.
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy explores long-standing difficulties rooted in past experiences, offering deeper self-understanding. It helps clients address recurrent issues by examining how historical events influence current behaviour, fostering lasting psychological growth and coping mechanisms.
Couples counselling
Couples counselling focuses on resolving relationship conflicts such as communication breakdowns and infidelity. Therapists facilitate constructive dialogue, helping partners develop mutual understanding and collaborative problem-solving strategies to strengthen their connection.
DBT-informed therapy
DBT-informed therapy integrates cognitive-behavioural techniques with mindfulness to manage intense emotions and self-harming tendencies. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with borderline personality traits, combining individual sessions and skills training to promote emotional stability.
