Our Therapy Modalities

 Our therapists are trained in these modalities and will integrate them into your treatment plan based on your specific goals:

Somatic Therapy: Somatic therapy recognises the mind-body connection and focuses on the integration of physical sensations, emotions, and thoughts to promote healing. This modality acknowledges that trauma and emotional distress can be stored in the body, leading to physical symptoms and psychological imbalances. Somatic therapy techniques, such as body awareness, breathwork, movement, and touch, help clients access and release stored tension, trauma, and emotions. By engaging the body's wisdom, somatic therapy supports clients in developing a greater sense of embodiment, resilience. 

Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT): CBT is a highly effective and extensively researched therapy modality. It focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and beliefs that contribute to emotional distress. Through collaborative exploration, clients gain insight into the connections between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. They learn practical strategies to reframe negative thinking, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and make positive changes in their lives.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT): DBT is particularly beneficial for individuals struggling with emotional dysregulation, self-destructive behaviours, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships. It combines elements of cognitive-behavioural therapy with mindfulness techniques. DBT helps clients develop skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. Through individual therapy, skills training groups, and phone coaching, clients learn to navigate intense emotions, improve relationships, and cultivate a greater sense of self-acceptance and resilience.

Inner Child Work Therapy: Inner child work therapy is a powerful modality that explores and heals unresolved childhood wounds and traumas. It recognises that our early experiences shape our beliefs, behaviours, and emotional patterns in adulthood. Through guided visualisation, dialogue, and experiential exercises, clients connect with their inner child and provide nurturing, validation, and healing to their younger selves. Inner child work therapy helps individuals develop self-compassion, reframe negative beliefs, and cultivate a healthier relationship with themselves and others.

Trauma-Focused Therapy: Trauma-focused therapies, such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT), are designed to address the impact of traumatic experiences. These modalities help clients process and heal from trauma, reduce distressing symptoms, and regain a sense of safety and control. Through specialised techniques, clients reprocess traumatic memories, develop healthy coping strategies, and restore a positive sense of self.

Acceptance and commitment therapy: ACT is a mindfulness-based therapy that focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and emotions while committing to actions that align with personal values. It helps individuals develop psychological flexibility, allowing them to respond effectively to life's challenges. ACT teaches clients to observe and accept their thoughts and emotions without judgment, identify their core values, and take committed action towards a meaningful life. This modality empowers individuals to live in the present moment, make choices aligned with their values, and cultivate a sense of purpose and fulfilment.

 

Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Mindfulness-based approaches, such as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), incorporate mindfulness practices to cultivate present-moment awareness and non-judgmental acceptance. These therapies help individuals develop skills to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and enhance overall well-being. By practising mindfulness, clients learn to observe their thoughts and emotions without getting caught up in them, fostering a greater sense of calm, clarity, and self-compassion.

 

Family Therapy: Family therapy involves working with individuals and their families to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships. This modality recognises the influence of family dynamics on individual well-being and aims to create a supportive and nurturing family system. Family therapy helps identify and address patterns of interaction that may contribute to distress, fostering healthier communication, understanding, and connection among family members.

Psychodynamic Therapy: Psychodynamic therapy explores the unconscious processes and unresolved conflicts that may be influencing current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This modality emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as a means of understanding and resolving deep-seated issues. By gaining insight into these underlying factors, clients can develop a deeper understanding of themselves, their patterns of relating to others, and make lasting changes in their lives. Psychodynamic therapy promotes self-reflection, self-awareness, and personal growth.
