Talking Therapy For Adults

Talking therapy is less about talking and more about understanding. It’s a collaborative process between you and your therapist which explores your thoughts and feelings and behaviours. It’s this understanding that helps unravel complex issues.

How can we support you?

We don’t ever say we can resolve the mental health challenges you face – we hope we can, but it’s a big promise. We can promise that we’ll work together to find strategies to live the life you want and follow a path you choose

  • Anxiety or stress
  • Relationship issues
  • Bereavement
  • Trauma and sexual abuse
  • Depression
  • Phobias
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and negative experiences
  • Obsessive disorders
  • Eating disorders
  • Changing negative habits

What types of talking therapy do we offer?

In collaboration with your Counsellor, you lead the service you receive. And for this reason we don’t think it’s helpful to think in terms of what type of therapy you need but in terms of the challenges, worries and mental health conditions you live with.

Because one of our core values is being frank – openness and transparency are vital to build trust – here are are few of the talking therapies we offer:

  • Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
  • Counselling and psychotherapy
  • Interpersonal therapy (IPT)
  • Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT)
  • Psychodynamic therapy

Each type of talking therapy is designed to treat a specific mental health condition. For example, CBT is used to treat depression and anxiety, while IPT is used to treat interpersonal problems.
