Our therapists are trained across a range of evidence-based approaches — meaning the methods have been tested in clinical research, not just adopted because they seemed to work. The approach always follows the person, not the other way around.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) builds specific skills: how to manage overwhelming emotions, how to tolerate distress without making things worse, how to communicate in ways that don’t blow things up. It’s particularly effective for clients dealing with self-harm, eating disorders, and emotional intensity.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works on the connection between how you think and how you feel. It helps identify the thought patterns driving anxiety, depression, and avoidance — and gives you tools to change them. It’s one of the most thoroughly researched approaches in mental health.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma treatment that helps the brain process memories that got stuck. It doesn’t require you to talk through every detail of what happened. Our therapists are trained in EMDR for clients working through trauma and PTSD.
Motivational Interviewing works with your own reasons for wanting to change, rather than telling you what to do. It’s especially useful for substance misuse and situations where part of you wants things to be different but another part isn’t sure yet.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) spends more time on where you want to go than on cataloguing everything that went wrong to get here. It’s practical, forward-leaning, and often faster than traditional talk therapy.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you notice and unhook from unhelpful thoughts, move toward what matters to you, and build a life aligned with your values — even when difficult emotions are present.
Our team also uses Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Family-Based Treatment (FBT) for eating disorders, Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Relational Therapy, and Play Therapy for children.
