• Our approach

  Treehouse Psychology works with clients using a Strengths Approach, which focuses on people's dignity, strengths, capacities, and rights, and involves working in partnership throughout the therapeutic process. Psychologists also use the Biopsychosocial approach and Bioecological Model to understand all factors influencing mental health, and work within a trauma-informed, attachment-focused framework. Sessions typically run for 50 minutes, with family sessions available at potentially longer durations. Treatment approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Schema Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Solution-focused therapy, all delivered from a client-centred perspective.

• Working with families

  Treehouse Psychology offers family sessions alongside individual consultations, which may run longer than standard 50-minute appointments. The practice works in partnership with clients and their families throughout the therapeutic process as part of its Strengths Approach philosophy. Parenting counselling, coaching, education and support based on evidence-based programs are available to strengthen parenting confidence and family relationships. Parent-child interaction and attachment-focused interventions are also provided to support family wellbeing and connection.
