I like to use a flexible approach, guided by you, and I use a range of therapy styles and techniques to suit your needs and preferences. This includes:
Therapy Approaches
-
EMDR Therapy is a structured, evidence-based therapy that can help people process distressing memories and experiences that continue to negatively affect them. It uses bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements or tapping, to support the brain in reprocessing difficult experiences.
EMDR therapy can be particularly helpful for trauma, anxiety, and other distressing experiences, and can help reduce the emotional intensity and impact of difficult memories. You do not need to describe every detail of a traumatic experience for EMDR therapy to be effective.
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based approach that explores the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It helps you identify unhelpful patterns and develop practical strategies to manage difficult emotions, change unhelpful thinking, and respond to challenging situations more effectively.
CBT is commonly used to help with anxiety, depression, stress, and a range of other psychological difficulties. It is a practical and goal-focused approach that can provide skills you can continue to use beyond therapy.
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an evidence-based approach that helps you develop greater flexibility in how you respond to difficult thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Rather than trying to eliminate uncomfortable emotions, ACT focuses on learning to accept what cannot be changed while taking meaningful action towards what matters to you.
ACT can help you manage anxiety, stress, low mood, and other psychological difficulties, while developing practical skills to build a more fulfilling and values-based life.
-
Mindfulness involves learning to pay attention to the present moment with greater awareness and without judgement. It can help you notice thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations without becoming overwhelmed or automatically reacting to them.
Mindfulness can be a useful skill for managing stress, anxiety, difficult emotions, and rumination. In therapy, mindfulness techniques can be tailored to your needs and incorporated into other evidence-based approaches.
-
Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) is an evidence-based approach that focuses on how your relationships and life circumstances can affect your emotional wellbeing. It helps you identify and address difficulties in relationships, communication, grief, life transitions, and changes in your social roles.
IPT is practical and goal-focused, supporting you to improve relationships, strengthen communication, and develop healthier ways of managing interpersonal difficulties.
-
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative, person-centred approach that helps you explore and strengthen your motivation to make positive changes. Rather than telling you what you should do, MI supports you to identify your own reasons, values, and goals for change.
MI can be particularly helpful when you feel uncertain or ambivalent about making a change, including changes related to habits, health, relationships, or other areas of life. It focuses on building confidence and taking practical steps towards meaningful change.
