Psychological Therapies & Services
We offer individual psychotherapy for a range of mental health difficulties including depression, anxiety, stress and trauma. We also support clients who do not have to have a specific mental health problem, but who could benefit from support. In addition, we offer coaching services and mental wellbeing workshops.

We will help you to process and make sense of traumatic experiences within the context of your life story, aiming to reduce trauma-related distress, strengthen identity, build resilience and support emotional healing.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
We will help you to develop psychological flexibility, learn to manage difficult thoughts and emotions more effectively, and reconnect with your values, aiming to support meaningful life changes, improve wellbeing and help you live a fuller and more balanced life.
Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT)
We will help you to understand how relationships and life changes impact your emotional wellbeing, aiming to improve communication, strengthen relationships, reduce feelings of isolation and distress, and support you in developing healthier interpersonal connections.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
We will help you to develop emotional regulation skills, improve distress tolerance, strengthen relationships and build mindfulness skills, aiming to reduce overwhelming emotions and unhelpful behaviours, while increasing stability, confidence and overall wellbeing.
