Services
EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing helps process traumatic memories through guided eye movements. This evidence-based approach effectively treats PTSD and trauma-related conditions by reprocessing distressing experiences. Our EMDR sessions follow established protocols while integrating with broader therapeutic goals.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
CBT addresses negative thought patterns and behaviours through structured, goal-oriented sessions. This practical approach helps clients develop coping strategies for anxiety, depression and other mental health challenges. We combine CBT with other modalities for comprehensive treatment.
Mindfulness Counselling
Integrating mindfulness techniques with traditional counselling enhances present-moment awareness and emotional regulation. This approach helps manage stress, anxiety and chronic pain through mindful breathing and body awareness practices. We incorporate mindfulness into broader therapeutic frameworks.
Creative Counselling
Using creative expression alongside traditional talk therapy accesses deeper emotional layers. This approach benefits clients who struggle with verbal communication through art, music or movement-based techniques. We tailor creative methods to individual therapeutic needs.
Supervision Services
We provide CPCAB-accredited supervision for counsellors and trainees. Our supervision model combines practical guidance with professional development support. Sessions follow structured frameworks while addressing individual practitioners' specific needs and challenges.
