What Is CBT Therapy?

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a structured, goal-oriented form of talking therapy that focuses on identifying and modifying unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. By understanding the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions, CBT empowers individuals to develop healthier coping mechanisms and improve their overall well-being. CBT is widely recognized for its effectiveness in treating a range of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) .

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

We incorporate ACT principles to help CBT patients identify triggering thoughts and memories, focusing on three core elements:
Mindfulness: Stay present and defuse negative thoughts and feelings.
Acceptance: Acknowledge thoughts as just thoughts and embrace positivity.
Values: Build a clear understanding of life’s priorities and focus on the positive aspects.
 EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)

If you’re dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or unprocessed traumatic memories, EMDR can provide relief. This therapy helps manage traumatic memories, reducing the associated nightmares and flashbacks.
