Psychotherapy is used to treat emotional problems, and mental health concerns such as stress, low self-esteem, or addictions. It can use a range of media, such as talking, art, music, drama, or movement – this can be identified through consultation if you are unsure which media you would like. Our therapists will help you to express your feelings and gain a deeper insight into the issues you are facing. Psychotherapy can be delivered one to one, with partners or family members, or in groups.

Each session lasts 40-60 minutes, sessions can be weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Psychotherpy can be very flexible and there are no expectations or guidelines to how many sessions you should have. These sessions are education based and help you understand thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) is a structured, goal orientated, short term psychotherapy, that uses a practical approach to overcoming your problems.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprogramming) is a psychotherapy that is used to alleviate symptoms of a traumatic experience, and PTSD. EMDR is not a talking therapy, but rather focusses on processing of traumatic events, using your own rapid, rhythmic sensory movements to lessen the power of the emotionally charged memory, helping you to heal from the fear and the pain.

Our Therapists will agree with you which rhythmic movement to use, as not all people are able to use rapid eye movement.

You will need an assessment with a trained therapsit to see if EMDR is the right/most helpful type of therpay for you. Sessions are typically between 4-10. It is important that you understand the process before treatment, arrange a call back from one of our qualified EMDR therapists.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), is based on CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy), but specialises on those who feel emotions intensely.

DBT is carried out in groups, or one to one therapy. Our therapists will support you to explore Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Distress Tolerance, and Emotion Regulation.

Each session lasts 40-60 minutes, sessions can be weekly, fortnightly or monthly. These sessions are education based and have a practical element to help you understand thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

Mindfulness helps us to focus on the present moment, and it can decrease our sadness and stress. It relates to meditation, and with the guidance of our Therapist, you can become more engaged in the present – free from distraction or judgement; you will be guided to be more aware of your thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them, mindfulness allows us to learn how to respond to a situation or thought instead of reacting as many of us do without realising. Mindfulness is particularly beneficial for those experiencing depression, negative thoughts or pain.
