More than one way to understand a person.
Different people need different ways of working.
Our psychologists draw from established psychological approaches and adapt therapy according to the person, their goals and what appears most useful.
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
CBT
CBT looks at the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It helps you notice the patterns of thinking that shape how you feel, and test whether they're accurate or helpful — then build different responses.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
ACT
ACT focuses less on changing difficult thoughts and more on changing your relationship to them. The aim is to build the capacity to carry what's difficult while moving towards what matters to you.
Schema Therapy
Schema therapy works with deeper, long-standing patterns — the themes and beliefs that repeat across relationships and life stages. It combines elements of several approaches to address patterns that shorter therapies may not reach.
EMDR
EMDR is a structured approach developed for working with the effects of difficult experiences. It uses bilateral stimulation to help the brain process memories that have remained 'stuck', often without requiring detailed verbal recounting.
Compassion Focused Therapy
CFT
CFT addresses the role of self-criticism and shame. It draws on our understanding of how the nervous system responds to threat and safeness, and builds a more workable, kinder relationship with yourself.
Attachment-informed therapy
Attachment-informed therapy considers how early relationship experiences shape the way you relate to yourself and others now. It uses that understanding to make sense of present patterns without reducing you to your history.
Emotion Focused Therapy
EFT
EFT works with emotion directly — helping you identify, understand and move through feelings rather than around them. It is particularly well-evidenced for couples and for relationship patterns.
Narrative Therapy
Narrative therapy is curious about the stories you carry about who you are and what's possible. It helps you separate yourself from problem-saturated stories and identify the values and strengths that may have been overlooked.
Mindfulness-based approaches
Mindfulness-based approaches build the capacity to notice present experience without immediately reacting to it. They are often integrated with other approaches to support awareness, regulation and choice.
Therapy rarely means choosing a single approach and sticking to it. Most of the time, your psychologist will integrate several of these — drawing on what's most useful for what you're working on, and shifting as the work evolves. The approach serves the person, not the other way around.
