FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy — or CBT for short — is one of the most well-researched and widely used forms of therapy today. It’s backed by decades of scientific evidence showing its effectiveness for a range of emotional and psychological difficulties.
CBT is a practical approach to understanding how your thoughts, feelings, and actions all connect.
Have you ever noticed how the way you think about something can totally change how you feel? For example, if you assume the worst in a situation, it can leave you feeling anxious or stuck. CBT helps you spot those patterns, challenge them, and replace them with more helpful ways of thinking.
In therapy, we’ll work together to:
Understand what’s really going on beneath the surface
Identify unhelpful thought patterns or behaviours
Learn simple, effective tools to help you manage how you feel
Try out small behavioural experiments — real-life tests that help you see what actually happens (rather than what your mind predicts will happen)
CBT is very collaborative and goal-focused — we’ll go at your pace, and everything we work on will be tailored to what you need. Many people find it empowering, especially because it gives you tools you can continue to use long after therapy ends.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a powerful, research-backed therapy designed to help people process and heal from difficult or traumatic experiences.
Sometimes, when something overwhelming happens — whether it’s a big traumatic event or something more subtle but distressing — the brain doesn’t fully process it at the time. It can get “stuck,” leading to symptoms like anxiety, flashbacks, low self-worth, or a sense of being emotionally triggered long after the event is over.
EMDR helps “unstick” those memories by using bilateral stimulation (often eye movements, tapping, or sounds) to support your brain’s natural healing process.
In EMDR therapy, we’ll work together to:
Identify past experiences that may be affecting how you feel today
Safely process those memories so they no longer carry the same emotional charge
Build up your internal resources so you feel more grounded, calm, and in control
Help you respond to current situations with more clarity and confidence
If you’re feeling stuck in the past or find certain experiences still affecting your day-to-day life, EMDR can be an effective way to move forward.
Interpersonal Therapy, or IPT, is a structured, evidence-based approach that focuses on the connection between our relationships and our mental health.
It’s based on a simple but powerful idea: the quality of our relationships — with family, friends, partners, colleagues — can have a big impact on how we feel. When those relationships are strained, changing, or lost, it can lead to feelings like depression, anxiety, loneliness, or low self-worth.
IPT helps you explore and improve the way you relate to others, while also building support and communication skills that can make everyday life feel more manageable and connected.
In therapy, we’ll work together to:
Understand how your current symptoms may relate to relationship patterns or life transitions
Explore areas such as grief and loss, role changes (like becoming a parent or ending a relationship), conflict, or social isolation
Build healthier communication skills and ways of expressing emotions
Strengthen your support system and sense of connection
Rather than focusing on the past in depth, IPT is more focused on what's happening in your life right now — and how we can make meaningful changes that improve your wellbeing.
If you're feeling stuck in your relationships, struggling with a life transition, or just want to feel more connected and understood, Interpersonal Therapy could be a supportive and effective option.
