Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients understand and modify unhelpful thought patterns affecting emotions and behaviours. Our NICE-recommended approach addresses depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD through structured sessions. Therapists work collaboratively to develop practical coping strategies for long-term improvement.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR therapy processes traumatic memories using bilateral stimulation to reduce distress. We treat complex trauma, anxiety, and phobias through this evidence-based method. Sessions focus on desensitising traumatic responses while developing emotional regulation techniques for improved daily functioning.
Online Therapy
Secure online therapy sessions provide accessible mental health support through video platforms or telephone. This service suits clients preferring home-based treatment or facing geographical barriers. We maintain therapeutic effectiveness while offering flexible, confidential remote consultations for various psychological conditions.
Psychological Assessments
Comprehensive psychological assessments produce detailed reports for legal, insurance, or occupational purposes. Our specialists review medical history and conduct psychometric testing to evaluate mental health status. Reports include treatment recommendations and outcome projections based on clinical expertise.
Supervision Services
We provide clinical supervision for mental health professionals across Cumbria. Our experienced supervisors offer online and in-person guidance for psychologists, therapists, and care providers. The service maintains ethical standards while supporting professional development through diverse therapeutic approaches.
