Our Psychologists primarily use Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), recognised as the ‘gold-standard’ for treating issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress. Alongside CBT, we also offer Mindfulness, ACT, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), which are increasingly recognised for their effectiveness in managing emotional regulation and improving overall well-being.
Mindfulness helps you stay present in the moment, teaching you to accept your thoughts and feelings without judgement. This practice allows you to manage stress and negative emotions more effectively, helping you to feel more in control. DBT complements this by offering practical skills to regulate intense emotions, improve communication, and cope with distress in healthier ways, making it especially useful for those who struggle with emotional overwhelm or difficult relationships.
In CBT, we focus on identifying and challenging unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. You’ll learn specific tools to make positive changes in how you think and act, empowering you to manage challenges more effectively. Most clients need between 6 to 12 sessions, but this varies depending on individual circumstances. Your therapist will tailor the treatment plan to your needs and goals, ensuring you get the support that suits you best.
INITIAL ASSESSMENT
Therapy begins with an initial assessment. The purpose of the assessment is to get a thorough understanding of the problem to aid treatment planning and goal setting.
PSYCHOEDUCATION
Early stages of CBT usually involve psychoeducation, in which you will learn about the problem as well as factors that cause and maintain the problem.
COPING AND PROBLEM-SOLVING
Later stages of therapy focus on identifying and challenging unhelpful thoughts, beliefs and assumptions, and changing behaviours that contribute to and/or maintain the problem. CBT also involves teaching basic coping and problem-solving skills and often involves teaching specific skills such as relaxation techniques or breathing exercises to help manage physical symptoms of anxiety or stress. Another important technique is graded exposure, which is a gradual and controlled way of facing things that cause fear or discomfort. Instead of avoiding these situations, you start by tackling easier, less frightening versions of the feared situation and slowly work your way up to more challenging ones. For example, if someone is afraid of public speaking, they might first practise talking in front of a small group of friends, and then build up to larger groups. Over time, this helps reduce the fear and shows the person that they can handle the situation. The goal is to feel less anxious and more in control.
FORWARD-THINKING
In the later stages of therapy, the focus shifts to relapse prevention, ensuring that progress continues after therapy ends.
Relapse prevention helps individuals recognise challenges or setbacks that might bring back old negative patterns. It involves reviewing key skills learned in therapy, such as identifying negative thoughts, using coping strategies, and practising relaxation techniques, so they can be applied in everyday life.
A personalised plan is often created with the therapist, identifying early warning signs of relapse, common triggers, and actions to take if unhelpful habits return. Ongoing graded exposure may also be encouraged to maintain progress. The aim is to equip individuals with the confidence and tools to manage their thoughts and emotions independently, reducing the risk of relapse and supporting long-term wellbeing.
