What Inner helps with

Depression Treatment

Psychological therapy and support for people experiencing depression, helping them understand low mood, develop coping strategies and re-engage with meaningful activities. Evidence-based approaches such as CBT, ACT and interpersonal therapy are commonly used.

Anxiety Treatment

Therapy and support to help children and adults understand and manage anxiety — including worry, panic, phobias and social anxiety. Treatment typically draws on evidence-based approaches such as CBT, and helps individuals gradually face feared situations with greater confidence.

Trauma Treatment & Therapy

Therapy to help individuals identify, make sense of, and come to terms with feelings and emotions arising from traumatic or highly distressing events.

Complex Trauma

Treatment addressing symptoms related to PTSD plus additional challenges such as emotional dysregulation, negative self-concept, and interpersonal difficulties.

ADHD Assessment & Treatment

A structured evaluation by a psychologist or psychiatrist to determine whether ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is present. It typically includes questionnaires, clinical interviews, rating scales and sometimes cognitive testing, and results in recommendations for support and treatment.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Assessment & Treatment

Formal diagnostic assessments and treatment for Autism Spectrum Disorder in children and adults.

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

Treatment for BPD characterised by unstable relationships, identity disturbance, impulsivity, emotional dysregulation, and other related challenges.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Treatment for OCD characterised by intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviours that cause distress and impact functioning.

Eating Disorders

Specialist psychological and medical treatment for conditions such as anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder. Treatment is usually multidisciplinary — involving a psychologist, dietitian and sometimes a medical professional — and aims to restore health and build a positive relationship with food.

Relationship & Couples Counselling

Therapy providing a safe space for couples to discuss and reflect on their feelings, needs, challenges, and resources.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

A structured, evidence-based therapy that helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. CBT is widely used for anxiety, depression, OCD and many other mental health challenges, and has strong evidence for both children and adults.

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

A mindfulness-based psychological therapy that teaches people to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them, and to commit to actions aligned with their values. ACT is effective for anxiety, depression, chronic pain and many other conditions.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

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.

Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)

Therapy helping individuals process traumatic or highly-distressing memories and complex ongoing trauma, targeting flashbacks and nightmares.

Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT)

Evidence-based approach highlighting the importance of emotions in guiding behaviour, shaping relationships, and influencing mental health.

Sexual Health & Wellbeing

Treatment for sexual health challenges including pain and function difficulties such as vulvodynia, vaginismus, dyspareunia, and erectile dysfunction.

Our approach

Inner Eastern Psychology uses evidence-based, person-centred approaches tailored to individual needs. Sessions involve structured talking therapy with psychologists trained in multiple frameworks including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Schema Therapy, EMDR, and others. An initial assessment helps identify your therapy goals and circumstances so the right approach can be selected for your child. The practice values openness, curiosity, and a non-judgemental approach, and individual therapy is complemented by family and parent therapies when needed.

Meet the team

Inner Eastern Psychology has a large team of Psychologists, Clinical Psychologists, and Accredited Mental Health Social Workers, all trained independent mental health practitioners with skills in various therapy frameworks. Team members have diverse qualifications and experience, including specialist training in Schema Therapy, EMDR, DBT, ACT, CBT, and other modalities. Clinicians have experience across different age groups and presenting concerns ranging from anxiety and depression to trauma, neurodivergence, ADHD, ASD, and personality-related challenges. The team values diversity and inclusivity, with clinicians from varied cultural and life experience backgrounds.

Your first visit

At the first appointment, a collaborative assessment and goal-setting process takes place to identify your child's individual needs, context, and the evidence-based approaches most suited to their situation. The psychologist will seek to understand your child's presenting difficulties, goals for attending therapy, and their life circumstances. This initial phase is crucial for building a clear picture of how to best support your child and what you hope to achieve through therapy.
