Therapy in Welwy Garden City
I draw from a wide range of evidence-based therapies, adapting them to suit your needs and goals. Each model brings a different focus, allowing us to work in a way that feels structured and supportive.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): CBT helps you notice unhelpful thought patterns and adopt more constructive ways of responding to difficult situations.
Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR): EMDR therapy guides you through the processing of traumatic memories so they feel less overwhelming and less tied to your current emotional state.
EMDR Intensives: Intensive EMDR therapy involves longer or more frequent sessions over a shorter period. This approach can suit those who want focused trauma work or who prefer to make progress within a condensed timeframe.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT supports the development of psychological flexibility. The work focuses on helping you relate differently to challenging thoughts and feelings and take steps that align with your personal values.
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT): CFT is particularly helpful if you struggle with shame or self-criticism. It aims to build a kinder and more balanced internal dialogue.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy: IFS explores the different parts of your inner world, helping you understand internal conflict and work towards calmer, more cooperative patterns within yourself.
Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT): IPT focuses on the link between relationships and emotional wellbeing. It offers practical support in areas such as grief, communication difficulties, conflict with others and major life changes. IPT is recognised by NICE as an effective treatment for depression.
