Trauma Focused Therapies

We offer a range of therapies to help support you with a mental health difficulty. Each therapy has its unique style and varies in terms of how long you might engage with it. There is overlap between all of the below therapies. The mind and the body are intrinsicly linked and are both involved at all levels of psychological and physical functioning. We might use aspects of all these therapies in one therapy session.

Body Psychotherapy

Body psychotherapy is a bottom up approach. The mind and body are intrinsically linked in relation mental and physical health. We use it to integrate the role of the body into more traditional psychotherapy to help with ptsd and trauma.

EMDR Therapy

Eye movement desensitisation & reprocessing therapy is a somatic psychotherapy and is the leading evidence based treatment for trauma symptoms and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Cognitive Processing Therapy

Cognitive processing therapy is a behavioural therapy and is a top down approach to trauma. It is homework based and can help with stuck points relating to trauma, e.g. power, control etc

EMDR Therapy session

EMDR Therapy

Eye movement desensitisation & reprocessing therapy is a somatic psychotherapy and is the leading evidence based treatment for trauma symptoms and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. It can also be used for phobias, tinnitus and addiction. It might be considered as a mid term somatic psychotherapy and is best administered as part of a psychotherapeutic relationship in an adjunct way. This means it is used as and when needed as part of traditional psychotherapy.

Body Psychotherapy

Body psychotherapy is a way of integrating the body into more traditional types of therapy. We consider working on the mind without the body as missing out on a golden opportunity to influence the mind from a bottom up approach. The mind and body are linked in relation to the way we function. Body psychotherapy honours this link with simple practical interventions and insights into the way they influence each other.

Cognitive processing therapy is a behavioural therapy which helps people who have experienced trauma and are experiencing ptsd symptoms. It is homework based therapy and offers an alternative or an addition to emdr therapy. It helps to address the impact of trauma, changing the way a person thinks about trauma. It also identifies and addresses stuck points. These might include: issues related to power, responsibility, intimacy, blame etc

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy is an in depth approach to mental health difficulty. It is a process that works at the client's pace. It helps promote sustainable long lasting changes. This is because the changes are suggested and worked on by the client themselves as opposed to the therapist. Psychotherapy might help with difficulties deep within the psyche, attachment problems or ego states. All of which help with the presenting symptoms of psychological malady.

ACT & BA

Acceptance & commitment therapy & behavioural activation

CBT

Cognitive behavioural therapy. The way we think influences the way we feel and the way we behave. 

Gestalt Therapy

Gestalt techniques help you to work with the edge in therapy & communicate with different parts of the psyche.

Counselling

Our transpersonal counselling provides a safe way to get support for a mental health difficulty you might be struggling with. Having a safe container to share a problem and have that problem witnessed by another can be transformative. Counselling often helps with more common and less complex types of mental health problem. An example might be struggling with an addiction. A person might need support to make tangible behavioural changes post rehabilitation. A person might seek counselling to process how they feel about a recent bereavement or need additional support as they experience the different stages of grief.
