Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured therapeutic approach that can help you process traumatic experiences and distressing memories in a safe and supported way. Using guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, EMDR can help reduce the emotional intensity of painful memories and support you to relate to those experiences in a way that feels less overwhelming.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a structured approach that can help you understand and work through thoughts and beliefs that may have developed following trauma. By gently exploring these patterns and considering new perspectives, CPT can help reduce distress, support healing and develop more helpful ways of understanding yourself and what you have experienced.
Brainspotting is a gentle, body-based therapy that can help you access and process experiences that may feel difficult to reach through talking alone. By noticing where you naturally look while connecting with certain emotions or body sensations, Brainspotting can support the deeper processing of trauma, stress and emotional pain.
Cognitive behavioural therapy is a structured approach that helps you notice how your thoughts, emotions and behaviours influence one another. Together, we can identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck and develop more helpful ways of responding to difficult situations.
Acceptance and commitment therapy can help you make space for difficult thoughts and feelings rather than becoming caught in a struggle with them. Through mindfulness, self-awareness and values-based action, ACT supports you to respond more flexibly and move towards a life that feels meaningful and aligned with what matters to you.
Clinical hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help you enter a calm, deeply absorbed state. In this space, you can explore underlying thoughts, feelings and patterns, and begin creating meaningful changes in areas such as anxiety, habits, stress and chronic pain.
Motivational interviewing is a collaborative approach that can help you explore mixed feelings about change and reconnect with your own reasons for moving forward. It can be helpful when working through habits, addiction or health, supporting you to build motivation and make choices that align with your intentions.
Schema Therapy explores long-standing emotional patterns and beliefs that often begin earlier in life and continue to shape how you see yourself, others and relationships. It can help you understand where these patterns came from, meet underlying emotional needs and create healthier ways of relating to yourself and those around you.
