Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a practical, evidence-based approach that helps people understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It’s based on the idea that unhelpful thinking patterns can affect how we feel and act, and by learning to challenge and change these patterns, we can improve our emotional wellbeing.
CBT is goal-focused and works by helping individuals develop healthier ways of thinking and coping. It is commonly used to treat a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, stress, and low self-esteem. CBT can be empowering, giving people tools and strategies they can continue to use well beyond therapy.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a modern, evidence-based approach that helps people build psychological flexibility—the ability to stay present, open, and engaged with life, even when facing difficult thoughts and feelings. Instead of trying to eliminate uncomfortable emotions or thoughts, ACT encourages people to accept them as part of the human experience and focus on taking meaningful action guided by their values.
ACT blends mindfulness techniques with practical strategies to help individuals move toward a more fulfilling life, even in the face of challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or low self-esteem. The goal is not to feel better all the time, but to live better—with more clarity, purpose, and resilience.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based approach that helps people manage intense emotions, build healthier relationships, and develop more effective coping strategies. Originally developed to support individuals experiencing emotional dysregulation or self-harming behaviours, DBT is now widely used to treat a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, and borderline personality disorder.
DBT balances two key ideas: acceptance of where you are right now, and change—learning new skills to improve your life. It focuses on four core areas: mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Through DBT, individuals learn how to stay grounded during emotional storms, respond rather than react, and build a life that aligns with their values.
Schema Therapy
Schema Therapy is an evidence-based approach designed to help people understand and change long-standing patterns in thinking, feeling, and behaving that may have developed early in life. These patterns—called "schemas"—often form in response to unmet emotional needs during childhood and can continue to impact relationships, self-worth, and emotional wellbeing in adulthood.
By combining elements of cognitive, behavioural, attachment, and emotion-focused therapies, Schema Therapy helps people identify these deeper patterns, understand where they come from, and learn healthier ways of coping. It is especially helpful for individuals who feel stuck in repeated life patterns, struggle with self-criticism, or experience intense emotions in relationships.
At its core, Schema Therapy is about healing at a deeper level and building a stronger, more compassionate sense of self.
Couples Therapy
Couples therapy provides a supportive space for partners to explore and strengthen their relationship. It can help improve communication, rebuild trust, and navigate challenges such as conflict, life transitions, parenting, intimacy issues, or feeling emotionally disconnected.
The goal of couples therapy isn’t about assigning blame—it’s about understanding each other more deeply and learning new ways to relate with care and respect. Whether you’re facing a specific issue or simply want to enhance your connection, couples therapy offers tools and insights to foster a healthier, more fulfilling relationship.
Narrative Therapy
Narrative Therapy is a collaborative, strengths-based approach that views people as separate from their problems. It’s built on the idea that we make sense of our lives through stories—and sometimes, those stories can become limiting or shaped by hardship, trauma, or negative experiences.
In Narrative Therapy, individuals are supported to explore and re-author their personal stories in ways that highlight their values, strengths, and resilience. The goal is to help people shift how they view themselves and their challenges, opening up space for new possibilities and a stronger sense of identity.
This approach is particularly empowering for those who feel stuck or defined by their struggles. It encourages reflection, meaning-making, and personal growth—all within a respectful and non-judgmental space.
