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

Support for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, a neurodevelopmental condition characterised by persistent patterns of inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Support for ASD, a neurodevelopmental condition affecting social interaction, communication, and behaviour.

ASD & ADHD Assessments

Formal diagnostic assessments for ASD and ADHD provided to both children and adults.

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)

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

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Treatment for OCD, characterised by intrusive unwanted 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 Counselling

Therapy for couples experiencing relationship difficulties, communication breakdowns or major life transitions. A therapist helps partners understand each other's perspectives, improve communication and work toward a healthier, more connected relationship.

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 and 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)

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.

Eye Movement Desensitization 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.

Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT)

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

Intensive Short-term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP)

An accelerated form of psychodynamic therapy focusing on emotions and resolving internal conflict.

Mindfulness

Evidence-based strategies and therapies that help individuals identify sources of stress and build resilience and coping skills. Approaches may include mindfulness, relaxation techniques, CBT and lifestyle adjustments.

Grief Counselling

Specialised counselling to support individuals and families navigating bereavement, significant loss or life change. A therapist provides a safe space to process grief at whatever pace is needed and helps clients find meaning and a path forward.

Sexual Health & Wellbeing

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

Our approach

Inner Eastern Psychology uses evidence-based, person-centred therapy tailored to each client's needs. Sessions are structured talking therapies, often complemented by tasks outside the session such as thought diaries or practical exercises. The team draws on multiple clinical approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Schema Therapy, EMDR, and others, selected based on individual circumstances and goals. An initial assessment focuses on understanding your goals, life context, and struggles to identify the most suitable therapeutic approach. All clinicians are trained independent mental health practitioners—Psychologists, Clinical Psychologists, and Accredited Mental Health Social Workers—with expertise across various mental health presentations.

Meet the team

The team comprises experienced Psychologists, Clinical Psychologists, and Accredited Mental Health Social Workers with diverse qualifications and specialist training in therapeutic frameworks including CBT, EMDR, Schema Therapy, DBT, ACT, and others. Clinicians have expertise across a wide range of mental health presentations including anxiety, depression, trauma, complex trauma, neurodivergence, personality disorders, and eating disorders, among many others. The team comes from a variety of cultural and life experience backgrounds, enabling them to meet clients with openness and curiosity and offer a non-judgmental, affirming approach to care.

Your first visit

The first appointment involves a collaborative assessment and goal-setting process to understand your individual needs, context, and any relevant background information. Your psychologist will explore your current situation, struggles, goals for attending therapy, and may ask about your childhood and development to build a meaningful formulation of how and why certain challenges exist. This assessment phase helps identify which evidence-based approaches are most suitable for your circumstances. The psychologist will work with you to develop a shared understanding of what you hope to achieve through therapy.
