Therapeutic Approaches

Humanistic Therapy
Humanistic therapy focuses on personal growth and self-actualisation. It encourages self-awareness, understanding your emotions, and fulfilling your potential. This approach aims to help you explore your feelings and overcome obstacles to growth, in a compassionate and non-judgemental environment.

Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic therapy looks at how unconscious thoughts and past experiences influence your current behaviours and emotions. By exploring early life experiences and unresolved conflicts, this therapy helps you understand how these patterns shape your life, relationships, and choices today.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a practical, goal-focused therapy that helps you identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. It focuses on how your thoughts, feelings, and actions are linked, and helps you develop healthier ways of thinking and coping with anxiety, depression, and other concerns.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT teaches you to accept your thoughts and feelings rather than fighting against them. It helps you focus on actions that align with your values, even when you experience difficult emotions. This approach combines mindfulness and acceptance to create a meaningful and fulfilling life, despite challenges.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (MBCBT)
MBCBT combines traditional CBT with mindfulness techniques to help you manage your thoughts and emotions. It teaches you to be more present and aware in the moment, which can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression by breaking negative thought cycles and promoting acceptance.

Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
CFT is focused on building self-compassion, helping you address feelings of shame, guilt, and self-criticism. By cultivating kindness and understanding towards yourself, it can reduce emotional distress and foster emotional resilience, especially for those who struggle with low self-esteem or harsh inner self-judgement.

Behavioural Therapy
Behavioural therapy focuses on changing unhelpful behaviours by reinforcing positive ones and reducing harmful ones. Using techniques like reinforcement and conditioning, it aims to create positive change. This approach is often used for phobias, anxiety, addiction, or other behavioural issues.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
DBT is a form of therapy that helps you manage strong emotions and improve relationships. It combines cognitive-behavioural techniques with mindfulness, teaching you to balance acceptance and change. It’s particularly helpful for managing emotional regulation, building healthier relationships, and coping with distress.

Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
SFBT is a short-term, goal-directed therapy that focuses on finding practical solutions to current problems, rather than delving into past issues. It helps you identify your strengths and resources, setting clear goals for quick, effective change, making it ideal for those looking for practical solutions.

Integrative Therapy
Integrative therapy blends techniques from different therapeutic approaches to create a treatment plan tailored to your needs. It combines elements from cognitive, behavioural, humanistic, and psychodynamic therapies, offering a flexible, personalised approach for a wide range of concerns.

Each therapeutic approach is suited to different needs and concerns, and if you're not sure which one would work best for you, we can explore this together to find the right fit for your personal journey.
