Main Therapies Provided
DIALECTICAL BEHAVIOUR THERAPY (DBT)
DBT has three core components in addition to mindfulness: interpersonal effectiveness (learning how to develop rich and meaningful interactions and relationships); distress tolerance (finding resilience to cope during critical moments); and emotion regulation (strategies to help manage and avoid turbulent emotional experiences).
COGNITIVE BEHAVIOUR THERAPY (CBT)
CBT is a broad approach that encompasses many techniques and applications. CBT is often used to help people reflect upon their thoughts, behaviours and self-beliefs in a way that allows them to find relief, solutions to problems, and enhance their self-esteem.
SCHEMA THERAPY
Sometimes people require therapy that focuses on early experiences in life. Schema therapy is a detailed form of therapy that helps people resolve deep, underlying issues that generate distress and dysfunctional patterns. Schema therapy can sometimes be useful when other forms of therapy have not helped people reach their goals.
COACHING
Whether you’re a professional athlete or ambitiously pursuing a career, psychological coaching can help balance the inevitable stressors on the road to success. While no one disputes the necessity of technical advice when tackling complex pursuits, many have yet to tap into the potential of psychological guidance during their greatest endeavours. Psychological coaching allows you to focus on setting effective goals, overcoming barriers, and achieving your ambitions.
EMDR
Solid research from the past several years has demonstrated that Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an effective form of therapy to address trauma and distressing experiences. It can be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan to treat the impact of painful events, especially ones that leave a person with intrusive thoughts or profound mental images. It is a powerful and efficient way to promote recovery.
ACCEPTANCE & COMMITMENT THERAPY (ACT)
ACT works on the notion that attempting to suppress mental events is not helpful. Instead, ACT promotes experiencing negative thoughts with acceptance and non-judgement, complemented by using mindfulness and defusion. ACT also encourages us to follow our deeper values in order to enhance our quality of life.
