Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) is a widely used and highly effective treatment for a range of mental and emotional health issues, including anxiety and depression. CBT aims to assist individuals to identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts, and equip them with practical self-help strategies to help create positive changes in their quality of life.
CBT is a good therapy option for anyone who is looking for support to challenge unhelpful thoughts which may be preventing them from reaching their goals, or living the life they want.
One of CBT’s objectives is to show the individual how thinking can affect mood. This therapy teaches us to think in a less negative way about themselves and life. It is based on the understanding that thinking negatively is a habit that, like any other habit, it can be broken.

Acceptance Commitment Therapy
Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages individuals to embrace their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling guilty for them.
ACT helps the individual to develop psychological flexibility, it is a form of behavioural therapy that integrates mindfulness skills with the practice of self-acceptance to help individuals live and behave in ways consistent with personal values.
This therapy aims to help individuals recognise ways in which their attempts to suppress, manage, and control emotional experiences only creates further challenges, and only by addressing these issues, can individuals then make room for values-based actions that support well-being.

Play Therapy
Play Therapy is a developmentally appropriate, evidence-based method of counselling younger individuals. It provides a powerful way to engage with the child on a fundamental, creative and non-verbal level and work therapeutically with them. During this type of therapy, children can play out (literally or metaphorically) their inner and real-life experiences in a way that provides valuable insight into their emotional well-being and capacity. This therapy capitalises on children's natural ability to express their feelings and resolve conflicts through play.
Play Therapy provides an unorthodox and fun way for children to express, regulate, communicate, practice, and master new skills as well as their emotional responses.

Complex Trauma-Focused Therapy
Complex Trauma-Focused Therapy is a specific approach that recognises how traumatic experiences can shape a child’s mental, behavioural, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.
This type of therapy seeks to explore and validate the connection between the traumatic experience and the individual's emotional and behavioural responses. The purpose of this therapy is to equip the individual with practical skills and strategies to help them better understand, cope with, and process emotions or memories tied to the trauma, with the end goal to enable the individual to create a healthier and more adaptive meaning of the experience that took place in their life.
Solution Focused Therapy
Solution Focused Therapy is a short-term goal-focused approach that integrates effective psychology principles and practices to help clients make positive changes, building solutions rather than emphasising issues.
After briefly identifying the problem, and creating a detailed description of how the individual’s life will be different, practical and sustainable solutions to implement are discussed by finding useful resources based on the individual’s experience and behaviour.
This type of therapy isn’t deeply rooted in the individual’s past, but rather is firmly entrenched in the present day, working toward a future in which current issues will have less impact.
