Relationships

Relationships with partners, family or friends can have a big impact on our emotional health. Sometimes we are caught in unhelpful patterns that may seem difficult to change. Therapy provides an opportunity to examine these patterns and learn strategies to improve relationships.

Anxiety

Everyone experiences anxiety from time to but sometimes this response becomes easily triggered and then intense or prolonged periods of anxiety can occur. Evidence based treatments can help to reduce the severity of anxiety.

Depression

Mood can be impacted by external stressors as well as internal thought processes. A holistic approach addresses psychological and lifestyle factors that contribute to low mood and can help you to move forward with your life.

Emotional Distress

Some people experience their emotions more intensely than others. Without the tools to manage these feelings, distress can be high and life can feel out of control. Understanding triggers and learning strategies to manage strong emotions can help to balance emotional wellbeing.

Trauma

Trauma symptoms and Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD) can result from single incident events or traumatic life experiences such as negative relationships with early caregivers, relationship partners, work colleagues or any other individual. These experiences can have an enduring influence on how we think about ourselves and others and our mental wellbeing. Evidence based treatments for trauma have been found to alleviate symptoms such as anxiety and depressed mood. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is available where appropriate.

Parenting

Parenting can be challenging. Strategies are available to help manage your own mental health, and improve relationships with your children so that your family can flourish.

Workplace stress

Workplace pressures and interpersonal relationships are the most common causes of work-related stress. Learning psychological strategies to manage the expectations of ourselves and others can improve our ability to cope with challenging environments.

Neurodiversity

Attentional Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Autism Spectrum Disorder screening is available. Support is offered in understanding a diagnosis as well as managing symptoms and seeking appropriate medical support.

Treatments

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy of different modalities are offered and include schema therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness and self-compassion based therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy and eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing therapy. Different elements of these therapies will be utilised to meet your individual needs. Please see the ‘About’ page for further information on these treatments.
