Art Therapy

Art therapy is a type of therapy that uses creative activities like drawing, painting, or sculpting to help you express your thoughts and feelings. Sometimes it can be hard to put emotions into words, and art provides another way to explore what’s going on. 

You don’t need to be good at art to benefit from art therapy—it’s not about making something perfect. Instead, the focus is on using the creative process to help you explore your feelings, work through challenges, and better understand yourself. A trained art therapist guides you through the process, creating a safe and supportive space for you to express yourself. 

CBT Informed Therapy

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)-informed therapy helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected. It’s based on the idea that negative patterns in thinking can affect how you feel and what you do, and by changing these patterns, you can feel better and make positive changes in your life. 

In CBT-informed therapy, you work with a therapist to explore challenges you’re facing and identify unhelpful thought patterns or habits. You’ll learn practical tools and strategies to shift these patterns, so you can handle situations in a more balanced and healthy way. It’s often focused on the here and now, helping you with specific issues like stress, anxiety, low mood, or confidence. 

Couples Counselling

Couples counselling is a type of therapy that helps people in relationships work through challenges and improve how they connect and communicate with each other. It provides a safe and neutral space where both partners can talk openly about their feelings, concerns, and frustrations, with the support of a trained counsellor. The goal isn’t to place blame but to understand each other better, work through problems, and find ways to strengthen your relationship. 

Whether you’re dealing with specific issues like trust, conflict, or changes in life, or you just want to improve how you relate to each other, couples counselling can help you build a healthier, more supportive partnership. It’s about finding tools and understanding to move forward together, whether that means resolving conflicts, deepening your connection, or making decisions about the future. 

Dance Movement Psychotherapy (DMP)

Dance Movement Psychotherapy (DMP) is a type of therapy that uses movement and dance to help you explore your emotions, express yourself, and feel more connected to your body. Sometimes it can be hard to put feelings into words, and moving your body can be a powerful way to process and communicate what you’re going through. 

In DMP, you don’t need any dance experience—it’s not about how you move or whether it looks “good.” A trained therapist will guide you in using movement in a way that feels natural and comfortable for you. It’s about helping you connect your body and mind, releasing tension, and exploring your feelings in a safe and supportive space.

Dramatherapy

Dramatherapy is a type of therapy that uses creativity, storytelling, and acting to help you explore your thoughts and feelings. It’s a way to express yourself and work through challenges without needing to rely only on words. Whether through role-play, improvisation, or creating stories, dramatherapy offers a safe and imaginative space to explore what’s going on for you. 

You don’t need any acting skills to take part—it’s not about performance or being in the spotlight. A trained dramatherapist will guide the sessions, tailoring activities to suit your needs. By stepping into a role, telling a story, or using creative play, you can gain new perspectives, process emotions, and find ways to feel more confident and in control. 

Dyadic Development Psychotherapy (DDP)

Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) is a type of therapy designed to help children and young people who have experienced trauma or struggles in their early relationships. It focuses on building a safe and trusting connection between the child and their caregiver, helping them heal and feel more secure in their relationships. 

In DDP, the therapist works with both the child and their caregiver together, encouraging open and supportive conversations. The goal is to help the child feel understood, explore their feelings, and make sense of their past experiences in a way that feels safe. At the same time, the caregiver is supported in responding to the child with empathy, patience, and understanding. 

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy designed to help people process and heal from difficult or traumatic experiences. Sometimes, after something upsetting happens, it can feel like the memory gets “stuck,” causing distressing thoughts, feelings, or reactions long after the event. EMDR helps you work through those memories so they no longer feel overwhelming. 

In EMDR, you work with a trained therapist to focus on specific memories or feelings while doing simple movements, like following the therapist’s hand with your eyes. These movements help your brain process the memory in a way that feels less painful or intense. You don’t have to go into lots of detail about the experience if you don’t want to—the focus is on helping your brain naturally heal. 

Music Therapy

Music therapy is a type of therapy that uses music to help you explore and express your feelings, improve your mood, and work through challenges. It’s not about being a great musician or performer—it’s about using music as a tool for healing and self-expression. 

In music therapy, you might listen to music, play instruments, write songs, or even move to music, depending on what feels right for you. A trained music therapist will guide the process and tailor the sessions to your needs. Whether you’re creating music or just enjoying it, the focus is on how it makes you feel and how it can help you. 

NeuroAffective Touch

NeuroAffective Touch is a therapy that combines gentle touch and/or self-touch with psychotherapeutic techniques to help you connect with and heal emotional wounds from early life experiences. It is especially beneficial for individuals who have experienced trauma, attachment issues, or emotional neglect during childhood. By integrating physical touch, this therapy helps to release stored emotional tensions, enhance body awareness, and improve emotional regulation. It offers a unique approach for those who find it challenging to express their feelings verbally. In a safe and nurturing environment, a trained therapist guides the process, tailoring the approach to your comfort and specific therapeutic needs. 

Play Therapy

Play therapy is a type of therapy designed for children, using play as a way for them to express their feelings and work through challenges. Sometimes, children find it hard to talk about their emotions, and play provides a natural, safe way for them to communicate and explore what’s going on for them. 

In play therapy, a trained therapist uses toys, games, or creative activities to help the child feel comfortable and understood. Through play, the therapist can observe and gently guide the child to work through their emotions, build confidence, and develop healthier ways to cope. The goal is to help the child feel more secure, understood, and able to manage their feelings and behaviours. 

Psychodynamic Counselling

Psychodynamic counselling is a type of talking therapy that helps you understand yourself better by looking at how your past experiences, especially from childhood, might be affecting how you feel and act now. The idea is that some of our feelings and behaviours come from things we’re not fully aware of, and this therapy helps bring those things to light.

By talking with a counsellor in a safe and supportive space, you can explore your emotions, thoughts, and memories. This can help you understand why certain patterns keep showing up in your life and relationships. Over time, this understanding can help you feel more in control and make positive changes in your life.

Sensory Integration Assessment & Therapy

Sensory integration assessment and therapy is a way of helping people who find it hard to process and respond to the world around them. Sometimes, our senses—like touch, sound, or movement—can feel overwhelming, or they might not seem to work in the way we expect. This can make daily life, learning, or relationships more challenging. 

In sensory therapy, a trained therapist looks at how you experience the world through your senses. They use this understanding to create activities or strategies that can help you feel more balanced and comfortable. The goal is to help your brain and body work together more smoothly, so you can manage sensory input in a way that works better for you. Whether it’s for a child who struggles with certain textures or sounds, or an adult who feels easily overstimulated, this type of therapy is about finding ways to help you feel calmer, more focused, and better able to handle everyday life. 

Somatic Experiencing (SE)

Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a type of therapy that helps people heal from trauma and stress by focusing on the connection between the mind and body. When we go through something upsetting, our body often holds onto the stress, which can leave us feeling stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed. SE helps you release that tension so you can feel calmer and more in control. 

In SE, the therapist gently guides you to notice how your body feels and responds to certain thoughts, memories, or sensations. You don’t have to talk in detail about what happened—instead, the focus is on what’s happening in the present moment. By paying attention to these physical sensations, the therapy helps your body let go of stress and find its natural balance again. 

Systemic / Family Psychotherapy

Systemic or family psychotherapy is a type of therapy that focuses on improving relationships within a family. It’s based on the idea that when one person is struggling, it often affects everyone around them, and by working together, the whole family can find better ways to support and understand each other. 

In family therapy, everyone is encouraged to share their thoughts and feelings in a safe and respectful space, guided by a trained therapist. The focus isn’t on blaming anyone but on exploring how family dynamics, communication patterns, or past experiences might be influencing current challenges. Together, you’ll work on ways to improve understanding, resolve conflicts, and strengthen connections. 

Theraplay

Theraplay is a specific type of play-based therapy that focuses on building strong, positive relationships between children and their caregivers. It uses fun, interactive activities to strengthen trust, connection, and communication. 

A trained therapist works with both the child and their caregiver together, guiding them through playful, nurturing activities that help improve their bond. The focus is on creating a sense of safety and warmth, helping the child feel loved and supported.  

Trauma Therapy

Trauma therapy provides support for how difficult or traumatic experiences in your life may have affected you. It focuses on creating a safe, compassionate environment where you feel respected and understood. The goal is to help you feel empowered and in control as you work through your challenges. 

In this type of therapy, the therapist recognises the impact of trauma on your thoughts, feelings, and behaviour. They’ll work at your pace, without pushing you to talk about anything you may not feel ready for. Instead, the focus is on helping you feel safe, build trust, and develop tools to manage your emotions and feel more grounded.
