Psychologist in Cheshunt

People come to therapy for many different reasons. Some are coping with the impact of trauma, others are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood or ongoing stress. For some, life changes such as parenthood, loss or shifts in identity can bring unexpected emotional strain.

Therapy in Cheshunt draws on evidence-based approaches to support meaningful and sustainable change. This may include:

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): CBT helps recognise patterns in thinking and behaviour and offers practical ways torespond differently to challenges.

Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR): EMDR supports the processing of traumatic experiences so they are less emotionally overwhelming in daily life.

EMDR Intensives: These concentrated sessions provide longer or more frequent EMDR therapy over a shorter period, suitable for those wanting focused trauma work.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT encourages flexibility in thoughts and behaviour, helping you approach difficult feelings differently and take meaningful action in line with your values.

Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT): CFT supports those who experience self-criticism or shame, encouraging a kinder and more balanced way of relating to yourself.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy: IFS helps explore the different parts of your inner self, allowing you to understand internal conflicts and work towards greater internal harmony.

Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT): IPT focuses on the connection between relationships and emotional wellbeing. It can help with grief, life transitions, conflicts with others, and social difficulties. Recognised by NICE for treating depression, IPT is also suitable for anxiety and trauma-related challenges.

A Thoughtful and Evidence-Based Approach

Therapy is offered with care, professionalism and respect for your pace. Sessions focus on building understanding while developing practical ways to manage emotional distress. The therapeutic relationship itself plays a key role, offering consistency, safety and trust throughout the process. Support is available for adults at different stages of life, with sessions adapted to suit your circumstances.

Whether you are experiencing a specific difficulty or a general sense that something is not quite right, therapy can provide space to work things through.
