Therapeutic Approaches & Modalities

Therapy approaches we use

We use a range of therapeutic approaches grounded in research and delivered with care. Each modality offers a different path toward growth — from structured, skill-based models to insight-oriented or experiential methods.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
(
ACT
)

Helps you change your relationship with difficult thoughts and feelings, so they no longer run your life.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Explores how early relationships influence emotional patterns and connections today.

Circle of Security Parenting Program
(
CoS
)

An evidence-based programme helping parents understand their child's emotional needs and respond in ways that build secure attachment.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
(
CBT
)

Helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
(
DBT
)

Teaches practical, learnable skills for managing intense emotions, navigating relationships, and tolerating distress without making things worse.

Emotionally Focused Therapy
(
EFT
)

Helps people understand and work through emotions and relationship patterns.

Existential Psychology

Explores the big questions — meaning, identity, mortality, freedom — that conventional therapy rarely makes room for.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
(
EMDR
)

A structured approach used to help process traumatic memories.

Gottman Method Therapy

A research-based approach designed to strengthen communication and connection in couples.

Humanistic Therapy

Rooted in the belief that people are fundamentally oriented toward growth — and that the right relationship makes that possible.

Integrative Play Therapy

Draws from multiple play therapy traditions to meet each child exactly where they are, with what they actually need.

Internal Family Systems / Parts Work
(
IFS
)

Explores the different 'parts' within you — each with its own intention — so that your deeper self can lead.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy
(
MBCT
)

Combines mindfulness and CBT to change your relationship with the thoughts and feelings that have pulled you under before.

Mindfulness in Therapy

Cultivates the capacity to notice what's happening — in thoughts, emotions, and body — without being swept away by it.

Motivational Interviewing
(
MI
)

A collaborative approach that helps people explore their own ambivalence about change — and find their own reasons to make it.

Person-Centred Therapy

Built on the belief that being genuinely heard and accepted — without conditions — is itself deeply healing.

Play Therapy

Uses play and creative activities to help children express emotions and process experiences.

Positive Psychology

The science of what allows human beings to flourish — not just the absence of illness, but the presence of a meaningful life.

Premarital Counselling

Helps couples have the important conversations before the wedding — so the marriage has the foundation it deserves.

Psychodynamic / Psychoanalytic Therapy

Explores the unconscious patterns shaping your choices and relationships, so what was invisible can finally be seen.

Sand Tray Therapy

Uses miniature figures and sand to externalise inner experience — reaching what words alone can't always access.

Solution-Focused Therapy
(
SFBT
)

Starts not with what's wrong, but with what right looks like — and builds toward it from what's already working.

Somatic Experiencing Therapy
(
SE
)

Works with the body to help the nervous system complete what trauma interrupted — gently, without reliving the past.
