Services
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
CBT addresses the interconnection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours through structured techniques. We help clients identify cognitive distortions, implement behavioural changes, and complete evidence-based homework assignments. This time-limited therapy typically requires 8-16 weekly sessions to achieve specific goals.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
DBT combines cognitive-behavioural techniques with mindfulness and emotional regulation strategies. Our intensive programme covers distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness through weekly sessions over 9-12 months, with optional biweekly options.
Hypno-Psychotherapy
This integrative approach uses hypnotic states to access subconscious processes while applying psychotherapeutic techniques. Sessions focus on reframing negative patterns and developing coping strategies, typically requiring 8-12 sessions for lasting results.
Schema Therapy
Schema Therapy addresses deep-seated emotional patterns through cognitive restructuring and experiential techniques. We help clients identify and modify unhelpful schemas developed in childhood, requiring longer-term commitment due to its complex nature.
Critical Incident Debriefing
Our structured debriefing process helps individuals process traumatic events through guided discussion and emotional support. This confidential service provides coping strategies following distressing incidents, delivered with professional sensitivity.
