Therapy

Therapy that starts with understanding you

We take time to understand what is going on for you before we decide on an approach. That means your therapy is shaped around your life, your experiences, and your goals, drawing on CBT, EMDR, ACT, Schema Therapy, CFT, IFS, and other approaches as needed.

Trauma & PTSD

Process the past, reclaim the present

If the past still shows up uninvited through flashbacks, nightmares, or a body that will not settle, you do not have to keep managing it alone. We use EMDR, trauma-focused CBT, IFS, and Schema Therapy to help you process what happened at a pace that feels safe.

Anxiety Therapy

Restore calm and clarity

The racing thoughts, the avoidance, the constant "what if." We understand how exhausting it is. We work with generalised anxiety, social anxiety, health anxiety, OCD, and phobias, and we will find the approach that fits how your anxiety actually works.

Depression & Low Mood

Find hope and momentum

When everything feels heavy and motivation has disappeared, even reaching out can feel like too much. We will make it as easy as we can. Compassionate, structured support to help you understand what is keeping you stuck and gently start moving again.

Complex & Long-Standing Difficulties

Deeper work for enduring patterns

Some things run deeper than a short course of therapy can reach. If you notice the same patterns repeating in relationships, struggle with your sense of self, or feel that previous therapy only scratched the surface, we offer the space and expertise for longer-term work.

Assessments

Assessments that give you clarity

Sometimes you need to understand what is going on before you can figure out what to do about it. We provide ADHD and autism assessments, neuropsychological evaluations, and medico-legal reports. You will receive a thorough written report with recommendations that are genuinely useful, not just a label and a handshake.
