Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Break negative or unhelpful thinking patterns
Develop practical coping strategies for everyday life
Feel more in control of your emotions and reactions
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a practical, evidence-based approach that focuses on the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It’s based on the idea that the way we think about situations can shape how we feel and act and that by gently changing unhelpful thought patterns, real emotional change becomes possible.
​
CBT is active and collaborative, helping you build skills that can be applied both inside and outside therapy sessions. It can be particularly helpful for people who want a clear framework, defined goals, and strategies they can practice in everyday life. By developing new ways of responding to challenges, CBT supports lasting change and increased emotional resilience.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Learn to step back from unhelpful thoughts
Develop greater emotional flexibility and resilience
Take meaningful action guided by personal values
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a therapeutic approach that combines mindfulness, acceptance, and behaviour change strategies to help people relate differently to difficult thoughts and emotions. Rather than trying to eliminate difficult feelings, ACT focuses on learning how to respond to them with greater openness and flexibility, so they have less impact on daily life.
​
ACT supports people to clarify what truly matters to them and to take meaningful action guided by their values. It can be particularly helpful for those who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in ongoing struggles with thoughts or emotions. By building psychological flexibility, ACT helps people live fuller and more purposeful lives alongside whatever challenges arise.
Recognise and understand recurring emotional patterns
Explore the roots of relationship difficulties
Develop deeper self-understanding and emotional change
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic Therapy is a reflective approach that helps people explore emotional patterns, relationships, and life experiences that continue to influence how they feel and respond in the present. It creates space to notice recurring themes and emotional responses, particularly in relationships, and to understand why these patterns may have developed.
​
This approach can be especially helpful for people who feel stuck in familiar emotional cycles or want a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships. By making sense of past and present experiences together, psychodynamic therapy supports lasting emotional insight, personal growth, and more fulfilling ways of relating to oneself and others.
Person-centred Therapy
Feel deeply heard and understood
Build self-awareness and self-acceptance
Develop greater confidence and personal growth
Person Centred Therapy is a relational approach that places your unique experience at the heart of the therapeutic process. It is based on the belief that people have an innate capacity for growth and change when they are met with empathy, acceptance, and genuine understanding.
​
Explore meaning, purpose, and personal values
Develop a stronger sense of identity and agency
Navigate uncertainty and life transitions with clarity
Existential Therapy
Existential Therapy focuses on exploring questions of meaning, identity, and responsibility in relation to life’s challenges. It recognises the emotional impact of uncertainty, change, and choice, and supports people to engage more fully with their lived experience.
​
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
Reduce self-criticism and shame
Develop self-compassion and emotional warmth
Feel safer and more balanced emotionally
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) is a therapeutic approach that integrates evolutionary psychology and compassion-based practices to support emotional regulation. It is grounded in an understanding of how our brains respond to threat and how experiences such as shame, self-criticism, or high standards can affect emotional wellbeing.
​
CFT can be particularly helpful for people who struggle with harsh self-judgement or feelings of guilt and inadequacy. Through building compassion for oneself and others, this approach supports emotional regulation, safety, and a sense of inner balance, making it easier to cope with difficult emotions and life experiences.
Separate personal identity from problems
Re author stories in a more empowering way
Recognise strengths, values, and personal agency
Narrative Therapy
Narrative Therapy is an approach that focuses on the stories people have about themselves and their lives, and how these stories shape identity and experience. It recognises that difficulties are often influenced by wider social and cultural contexts rather than being personal flaws.
​
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
Manage intense emotions more effectively
Build skills for coping with distress and crisis
Improve communication and relationship skills
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a structured therapeutic approach that helps people understand and manage intense emotions while building skills for everyday life. It combines practical strategies with a strong emphasis on acceptance, supporting people to respond to emotional challenges in more balanced and effective ways.
​
DBT can be particularly helpful for those who experience strong emotional reactions, rapid mood changes, or difficulties in relationships. By developing skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, DBT supports greater stability, self understanding, and confidence in managing difficult situations.
Systemic Therapy
Understand patterns within relationships and families
Improve communication and shared understanding
Support change across relational systems
Systemic Therapy focuses on understanding difficulties within the context of relationships, families, and wider social systems. It recognises that challenges are often shaped by patterns of interaction, communication, and roles within important relationships rather than being located within one individual.
​
This approach can be helpful for individuals, couples, or families who want to explore how relationships influence emotional wellbeing. By increasing awareness of relational patterns and perspectives, systemic therapy supports healthier communication, shared understanding, and positive change within relationships and systems.
