What Be helps with

Anxiety Counselling

A talking-based support that helps people work through emotional difficulties, relationship challenges, grief, stress or mental health concerns. A counsellor listens without judgement and helps you develop coping strategies and a clearer sense of direction.

Depression Counselling

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy for trauma and PTSD. Using bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements), it helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they no longer cause intense emotional reactions.

Neurodiversity-Affirming Counselling

Specialised counselling for clients with autism, ADHD, AuDHD and other neurodivergence.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

An evidence-based therapy originally developed for people with intense emotional difficulties. DBT teaches skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness, and is now used for a range of conditions including borderline personality disorder, eating disorders and self-harm.

Schema Therapy

An integrative psychological therapy that explores deep-rooted patterns (schemas) formed in childhood that drive unhelpful thoughts, feelings and behaviours in adulthood. It combines elements of CBT, attachment theory and other approaches to bring about lasting personality and emotional change.
