Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

CBT is based on the concept that your thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and what we do are all connected. CBT aims to identify and modify unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours that maintain a persons difficulty. CBT has an extensive evidence base for effectiveness in treating depression, anxiety related problems (including panic attacks and OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder and many more.

  • Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Dialetic Behavioural Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a cognitive-behavioral treatment developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan.  DBT emphasizes the balance between acceptance and change. It incorporates mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to help clients manage emotions, improve relationships, and reduce self-destructive behaviors.

Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy

MBCT is a psychotherapy that combines mindfulness practice and cognitive behavioral therapy to prevent depression and anxiety relapse. It helps individuals develop awareness and acceptance of their thoughts, emotions, and experiences, and learn to respond rather than react to them. MBCT usually takes the form of 8 weekly sessions, with guided meditations accompanying the program so that participants can practice skills at home throughout the course.

• Anxiety & Worries

• Depression & Sadness

• Attention, Focus, & ADHD

• Sleep & Bedtime

• OCD

• Aggression

• Relationship Conflicts

• Parenting Challenges

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy 

Psychodynamic psychotherapy helps you to understand how your current feelings and behaviour are shaped by your unconscious mind and past experiences and relationships. Through the therapeutic relationship, psychodynamic approaches aim to bring unconscious thoughts and unresolved conflicts to the individual's awareness. It further aims to develop an understanding of past and present relationship patterns, to facilitate change. Psychodynamic psychotherapy has a substantial evidence base supporting its effectiveness for a range of mental health conditions for children and adolescents.

The type of psychotherapy that's right for your child depends on their unique experiences and individual personality.

What to expect at initial consultation:

  • Discussion of support required.

  • Advice regarding suitable Therapy.

  • Signposting to further support if Therapy is not appropriate or suitable.

You may start with online sessions immediately or opt to have the first session as a face-to-face consult, and thereafter online or telephonic consults may follow.  Initial consults are 45 minutes.
