CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) 

CBT is an evidence-based form of talking therapy endorsed by National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) for its effectiveness in treating common mental health challenges such as depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and anxiety disorders including Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Social Anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and Health Anxiety. Key benefits include:

  • CBT sessions focus on understanding and addressing the interconnectedness of triggering situations, thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and behaviour. 

  • CBT treatment is tailored to work towards achieving your own personal hopes for recovery. Therapy will be collaboratively designed to develop significant improvements in functioning and quality of life, equipping you with techniques to create positive changes to your mental health and empowering you to become your own therapist.

  • Therapy is typically structured over 14-18 sessions, lasting 50 minutes each.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

EMDR is a groundbreaking therapy approach designed to support the brains natural healing ability to process traumatic memories and PTSD to alleviate distress, flashbacks, nightmares and avoidance, enabling you to live without distress dominating your life. EMDR can be equally successfully applied for single incident traumas such as; accidents, medical trauma and birth trauma as well as complex PTSD (CPTSD) such as multiple traumatic experiences; including war experiences and childhood abuse.

  • EMDR facilitates the processing of blocked memories by engaging bilateral stimulation, typically facilitated through side-to-side eye movements or taps. This replicates the brain’s natural processing associated to Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep cycles. 

  • EMDR unlocks the brain's natural healing ability, allowing clients to process distressing memories, reducing their emotional charge and integrating these experiences in a healthier way.

  • Since its original development, EMDR is also increasingly used to help individuals with other issues including phobias, anxiety, pain management and depression.

  • EMDR has been found to be of benefit to clients with language barriers or for those that do not feel able to provide details of the trauma  This is a very different experience to traditional talking therapies.
