Individual therapy approaches for adults and interventions offered

  • In this approach, we will explore how your thoughts, emotions, physical feelings, and actions are all connected in a way that may be keeping you feeling stuck. CBT is very much a ‘doing therapy’, together, we discuss what actions are required to help you move towards your goals. I will help you put these actions into motion in a safe way, if and when you feel ready to do so.

  • EMDR is designed to help individuals who have experienced significant trauma or distressing events. By using various techniques such as eye movements, sounds, or taps, EMDR facilitates the processing of difficult memories to reduce the emotional intensity and negative impact of those experiences, allowing you to gain new insights and find healing. EMDR provides a safe and supportive environment for you to address and overcome the lingering effects of trauma, empowering you to move forward and lead a more fulfilling life.

  • Brief psychodynamic psychotherapy is a type of therapy that focuses on how you relate to others and the impact it has on your well-being. During BPP, we will explore your relationships, emotions, and thoughts to better understand how they influence your daily life. By identifying patterns and making connections, we can work together to improve your relationships and help you feel better. BPP aims to help you develop healthier ways of relating to others and enhance your overall emotional well-being. BPP can be helpful for individuals who repeatedly experience challenges in their friendships, family and intimate relationships.

  • Narrative Therapy is a collaborative and empowering approach that focuses on your unique story and experiences. In this therapy, we explore the challenges you face and the strengths you possess. We will work together to uncover the meanings you give to events in your life and help you discover new perspectives. Through creative activities, conversations, and reflections, you can expect to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your values. Narrative Therapy aims to help you rewrite the narratives that hold you back and create empowering stories that guide you towards a more fulfilling life.

  • CFT focuses on nurturing self-compassion and extending kindness towards oneself and others. In CFT, we explore the role of compassion in healing and promoting well-being. Through compassionate imagery, mindfulness exercises, and compassionate self-talk, we work on nurturing a kinder and more supportive relationship with ourselves. CFT helps you develop a greater understanding of your emotions, build resilience, and overcome self-criticism and shame. By fostering self-compassion, you can cultivate a sense of inner warmth and acceptance, leading to improved mental and emotional well-being.
