Counselling and Mental Health Services

There is no one-size-fits-all with individual counselling. What works for one person may not work for another person. Our range of mental health services means each client gets the right support.

Some of our approaches to individual therapy are:

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Focused on acceptance of difficult emotions, ACT helps individuals commit to values-driven actions and increase psychological flexibility.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

CBT targets negative thought patterns and behaviours and helps individuals reframe their thinking, develop coping skills and achieve emotional well-being.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

Combining mindfulness with CBT, MBCT prevents relapses of depression and anxiety by increasing awareness of present thoughts and emotions.

Narrative Therapy

This approach helps individuals reframe their life stories, so they can separate from problems and create new, positive narratives.

Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

SFBT focuses on solutions and goals, helps individuals identify strengths and create practical strategies for change.

Trauma-Focused Therapy

Centred on processing traumatic experiences, this therapy helps individuals address trauma’s impact on thoughts, emotions and behaviours for healing and resilience.

A strong therapeutic relationship is key in trauma-focused therapy, so clients feel safe and supported throughout their healing journey.
