Counselling Therapies

Our experienced psychologists use a variety of Therapy Types, including:

  • Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT):  CBT assists you to identify and challenge thinking patterns that are unhelpful which may be contributing to unpleasant emotions. Providing strategies that help in the management of  emotions is a the core of CBT.
  • Interpersonal Therapy (IPT):  IPT is designed to help manage interpersonal difficulties. This can help your family and you by helping you all in achieving effective communication.   IPT can also help you to develop social well-being. This works by putting the focus on unresolved grief, role conflicts, role transitions and social isolation.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT):  ACT is a new form of cognitive and behavioural therapy which can assist you to better manage negative emotions and help you to live a more meaningful life.

We all need support at various times in our life. Our friends and family can be great support. However for various reasons you may not have any friends or family that you can ask for support, or they may be part of what you are struggling with. In all cases having an external person who is solely there to support you with proven counselling strategies can make a big difference in your ability to cope and move forward to a more satisfying life.
