Types of therapy we use

We use therapy approaches that are grounded in research and tailored to you. Every therapy we offer is backed by evidence and guided by compassion.

We don’t believe in trendy quick fixes or generic advice. Our psychologists are trained in evidence-based approaches, and they know how to apply them in a way that’s relevant, human, and tailored to your unique situation.

Therapy types we might use

Here are a few of the therapy types we might use:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): A structured, practical approach that helps you understand and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Often used for anxiety, depression and day-to-day overwhelm.
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Focuses on helping you accept what you can’t control and take committed action towards the life you want, based on your values.
• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT): Focuses on emotion regulation and distress tolerance, especially for clients who experience intense emotions or interpersonal struggles.
• Play Therapy & Child-Centred Therapy: For our younger clients, therapy can look like drawing, playing, and storytelling. Make no mistake, the work is deep. These methods help kids explore emotions and build resilience in a way that feels safe.
• Gottman-Informed Couples Therapy: Based on decades of research into what makes relationships thrive (or crumble), this approach supports couples to communicate better, manage conflict, and rebuild connection.
• Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT): For people who are hard on themselves. It helps develop a kinder inner voice, reduce shame, and build self-worth.

We also weave in elements of motivational interviewing, trauma-informed care, mindfulness-based techniques, and behavioural strategies depending on what’s going on for you.

You don’t need to choose

You don’t need to walk in knowing which therapy type is right. That’s our job. We’ll work with you to understand what’s happening beneath the surface and draw on the right tools to help you move forward with clarity and care.
