Schema Therapy
Who it helps: Long-standing or recurring difficulties (e.g., complex trauma difficulties, personality difficulties, interpersonal difficulties, chronic problems).
What we do: Schema therapy focuses on childhood difficulties and adversity, and how that may have contributed to the development of the difficulties you experience. It helps you understand those pervasive "life patterns" and how they are affecting your interpersonal functioning. It then helps you understand how you can develop alternative, healthier responses.
Format: short- to longer-term depending on goals.
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)
Who it helps: High self-criticism, shame, trauma-related blocks, chronic anxiety/depression.
What we do: Develop compassionate attention, imagery and soothing-system skills to balance threat and drive systems; build a kinder, steadier inner voice. Often combined with Schema Therapy/CBT.
Format: brief to medium-term. In person or online.
Trauma-Focused CBT- (TF-CBT)
Who it helps: Single-incident or complex/relational trauma and their after-effects (e.g., intrusive memories, avoidance, hyperarousal, guilt/shame).
What we do: Stabilisation (grounding, regulation, sleep) → gradual work on trauma memories/beliefs → consolidation and relapse-prevention. All steps are collaborative, with careful pacing and consent.
Format: typically structured, time-limited blocks.
Mindfulness
Who it helps: Stress, rumination, sleep issues, trauma-related arousal.
What we do: Short, practical exercises (breath, body, grounding) to stabilise attention and nervous-system arousal; integrate with CBT/Schema/CFT as helpful.
Format: Can be a stand-alone skills block or integrated into therapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Who it helps: Anxiety and panic, OCD features, low mood, sleep/routine difficulties, stress.
What we do: Clear goals, skills practice, and brief between-session tasks. We examine links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour, test alternatives, and build practical routines that support day-to-day progress.
Format: often time-limited (e.g., 8–16 sessions), adjusted to need.
Person-Centred Therapy
Who it helps: When you want space to be heard deeply and to move at a manageable pace—useful across many concerns, including identity, relationships, grief and adjustment.
What we do: A respectful, non-judgemental relationship that supports self-understanding and change. We integrate person-centred values across all therapies.
Format: short- or open-ended.
