Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviours that may be causing emotional distress. It is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are interconnected, and that by changing one, we can positively impact the others.
CBT is a collaborative and structured approach, where the therapist and client work together to set achievable goals and develop strategies to overcome challenges. Through this process, clients gain insight into their patterns of thinking and behaviour, and learn practical skills to manage their emotions and improve their overall well-being.
Although CBT can be challenging at times, it is a highly effective form of therapy that has helped many people overcome a range of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). If you are struggling with emotional distress, CBT may be a helpful tool for you to explore with a trained therapist.
Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) is a type of talking therapy that focuses on improving the quality of relationships and addressing interpersonal issues that contribute to mental health problems. It is often used to treat depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders.
During IPT sessions, a therapist works with the client to identify specific problems in their relationships, such as communication difficulties, unresolved conflicts, or feelings of isolation. The therapist then helps the patient develop strategies for improving these relationships, which can lead to greater social support and a reduction in symptoms.
IPT is a collaborative and empathetic approach that recognizes the importance of relationships in our lives. By improving interpersonal functioning, clients can experience greater satisfaction and a sense of purpose, leading to improved overall mental health and well-being.
Physical Rehabilitation Programs are designed to help individuals recover from injuries or illnesses that have affected their physical functioning. These programs often include exercises and therapies that are tailored to the individual’s specific needs and goals.
The journey towards physical recovery can be challenging, but with the help of trained professionals and the support of loved ones, it can also be empowering. Rehabilitation programs not only focus on physical healing, but also address the emotional and psychological aspects of recovery.
It’s important to remember that everyone’s path to recovery is unique, and it’s okay to take it one step at a time. With patience, perseverance, and a positive attitude, individuals can make progress towards regaining their physical abilities and improving their overall quality of life.
Counselling is a process that involves talking to a trained professional in a confidential and non-judgmental setting. The aim is to help individuals explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and to develop effective coping strategies for dealing with life’s challenges.
During counselling sessions, clients are encouraged to express themselves openly and honestly, without fear of being criticized or judged. The counsellor listens carefully and provides support and guidance, helping the client to gain insight into their issues and to identify and work towards their goals.
Counselling can be helpful for a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and personal growth. It can provide a safe space to explore difficult emotions and to gain the skills and tools necessary to lead a more fulfilling life.
Couples therapy is a type of counselling that aims to help couples resolve conflicts and improve their relationship. It involves working with a trained therapist who helps the couple identify and address issues that may be causing problems in their relationship. The therapist facilitates communication and teaches the couple new ways to communicate effectively and work together to find solutions. Couples therapy can be helpful for couples experiencing a range of difficulties, from communication problems and disagreements about finances to infidelity and trust issues. It provides a safe and non-judgmental space for couples to work through their problems and build a stronger, healthier relationship.
We offer a range of guided self-help programmes that are delivered and supported by Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners (PWP’s). These evidence-based treatments are proven to be effective for problems such as Depression, Generalised Anxiety (Worry) and Panic attacks (with or without Agoraphobia).
They are personalised programmes using CBT principles (above), and are designed to be convenient, easy to access and fit into your life.
You can meet with your practitioner face-to-face in your first appointments, but can then move to more convenient telephone or video-call appointments. The programmes teach you to become “Your own therapist”, and you can always move on to longer face-to-face therapy if required.
