We Specialise
In Providing Evidence Based Treatments
We specialise in providing evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and Schema Therapy. All of these approaches are widely accepted around the world to treat a wide range of problems.
CBT is the most widely used therapy around the world today. It is a very practical approach.
ACT is a newer version of CBT that incorporates ideas such as mindfulness. It has shown to be effective with a range of problems.
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy. DBT helps people with more complex problems to develop better coping skills, relationships, and self-esteem.
Schema therapy is also aimed at more longer-term problems. It is based on the idea that some people seem to get caught up in cycles of self-defeating patterns.
