Evidence-based therapy to help individuals who have experienced trauma — including abuse, accidents or adverse childhood experiences — process distressing memories and reduce their ongoing impact. Approaches include EMDR, trauma-focused CBT and somatic therapies.
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.
A thorough evaluation by a psychologist using standardised tests, interviews and observation to understand a person's cognitive, emotional and behavioural functioning. Results inform diagnosis and guide recommendations for therapy, school adjustments and support services.
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.
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.
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.
Creative therapeutic approaches incorporating art-based interventions.
Goal-oriented therapy focused on solutions and positive outcomes.
A structured, time-limited therapy that focuses on improving interpersonal relationships and communication patterns as a way to address mental health difficulties such as depression and grief. It helps clients identify how relationship dynamics affect mood and functioning.
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.
