What is CBT?

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based approach that helps people develop practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, reducing distressing feelings such as anxiety and low mood.

In our sessions, we’ll focus on the difficulties you’re experiencing right now, explore what might be keeping them going, and work together to find new, more helpful ways of thinking and responding.

What is EMDR?

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a well-established, evidence-based therapy that helps people process and recover from difficult or distressing experiences. At times, past events can remain “stuck” in the mind and body, continuing to influence how we think, feel, and respond in everyday life. EMDR helps the brain reprocess these memories so they become less emotionally charged and no longer feel as overwhelming.

During EMDR therapy, we work together to identify experiences that may be contributing to your current difficulties. Using bilateral stimulation—such as guided eye movements, tapping, or sounds—we support the brain’s natural ability to process and integrate these memories in a safe, structured, and supportive way.
