Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

CBT has a significant evidence-base for effectiveness across a range of presenting problems and difficulties.It works by identifying the thoughts, feelings and behaviours people can be caught up in when they’re experiencing high levels of distress or a sense of ‘stuckness’ and beginning to test out and change some of these.It can help with problem-solving ability and learning new skills to help someone to cope with situations or experiences they find difficult.Sometimes people have developed coping strategies that were effective for them earlier in life but are less helpful now; CBT can work to help someone to change these and regain a sense of control and self-efficacy.

Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)

Many people recognise that they can become very self-critical, and that this can leave them feeling low, worried and anxious. People may find themselves ‘going over’ difficult conversations with colleagues or family members, feeling increasingly upset or ashamed.They often work very hard to try to be ‘perfect’ so that others cannot criticise or blame them. It may feel hard to relax or rest as people feel constantly driven to ‘succeed’ and do well. This can work well for a long time but when things are beyond their control or do not go well people may feel increasingly exhausted or overwhelmed.Compassion-Focused Therapy helps to understand and alter these patterns, and to learn how to function differently and in a way that is more sustainable. It is particularly helpful for people who have felt ‘not good enough’ for a long time.

Eye Movement
Desensitization and
Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is a powerful technique that has a strong evidence-base in working with trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and an
emerging evidence-base in working with a range of other difficulties, particularly for people struggling with anxiety or who have had difficult experiences.

Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS)

The IFS perspective considers that each human being is a collection of inner parts that ideally can be led by a core Self. Central to its philosophy is that the human mind is naturally made up of multiple parts and that this is necessary and not a sign of illness or pathology.Through life experiences these naturally occurring parts can become pushed into roles or hidden away in an attempt to cope with adversity. Over time this can cause inner conflict which can lead to limitations and distress for the individual.
The central Self cannot be harmed or lost but it can become challenging to connect with meaning that inner leadership can be difficult.IFS is frequently used as an evidence-based psychotherapy, helping people heal by accessing and healing their protective and wounded inner parts.IFS creates inner and outer connectedness by helping people first access their Self and, from that core, come to understand and heal their parts.
