Therapeutic Modalities
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a goal-oriented therapy that focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. By understanding how thoughts, emotions, and actions are interconnected, CBT helps you develop healthier, more adaptive ways of thinking and responding to life’s challenges.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
DBT is a form of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy that focuses on helping individuals manage intense emotions, improve interpersonal relationships, and develop mindfulness skills. It's especially helpful for those struggling with emotional regulation, self-harm, and impulsivity, aiming to create balance and acceptance in life.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT focuses on helping you accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting against them. By learning to live in line with your core values, ACT empowers you to develop psychological flexibility and take meaningful action, even in the face of challenges.
Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT)
EFIT is a type of therapy that helps individuals explore and transform emotional patterns that affect relationships and overall well-being. Through a compassionate, supportive process, EFIT promotes emotional awareness, deeper connection with oneself, and healthier interpersonal dynamics.
Narrative Therapy
Narrative therapy focuses on the stories we tell ourselves about our lives and experiences. By reframing these stories and viewing them from different perspectives, narrative therapy helps you create new meanings, develop a stronger sense of identity, and reclaim control over your narrative.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
SFBT is a practical, goal-oriented approach that focuses on finding solutions in the present and future rather than delving deeply into past problems. It's designed to help clients identify their strengths and resources, enabling them to move forward with concrete, actionable steps toward positive change.
Trauma-Informed Care
Trauma-informed care recognizes the profound impact that past trauma can have on mental health and well-being. This approach prioritizes safety, trust, and collaboration, ensuring that treatment is sensitive to the effects of trauma while empowering clients to heal at their own pace.
Mindfulness-Based Approaches
Mindfulness practices teach you to stay present and aware in the moment, without judgment. These approaches help reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, and enhance self-awareness, allowing you to cultivate a greater sense of peace and clarity in daily life.
