Schema Therapy

Schema therapy is a therapeutic approach that combines elements of cognitive-behaviour therapy, attachment theory, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and experiential therapies. This multi-model, expert approach seeks to address long-standing and deeply rooted patterns of thinking and feeling known as “schemas” and how we have learned to cope with these schemas, known as “maladaptive, unhelpful coping modes”.

Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT)

Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) is a therapeutic approach that integrates principles of cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) with mindfulness practices and compassion-building exercises. CFT is particularly effective for individuals who experience high levels of shame, self-criticism, and feelings of low self-worth. It focusses on helping people cultivate self-compassion and improve their ability to manage difficult emotions, ultimately fostering a more balanced and resilient emotional state.

Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT)

Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) is a time-limited, integrative approach to psychotherapy that combines cognitive and analytical principles. CAT aims to help individuals understand the patterns in their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that may be contributing to their difficulties. By gaining insight into these patterns, clients can make meaningful changes in their lives, fostering greater emotional well-being and improved relationships.

Narrative Therapy

Narrative Therapy is a therapeutic approach that views individuals as capable and resourceful, distinct from their problems. It emphasises the significance of the stories that people tell themselves, holding that these narratives shape their identities and experiences.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy is a therapeutic approach rooted in the principles of psychoanalysis, focusing on the unconscious mind and its influence on thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Developed from the work of Sigmund Freud and further evolved by various theorists, psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences, particularly early relationships, shape current emotions and behaviours. The goal is to help individuals gain insight into their unconscious patterns, leading to greater self-awareness and emotional relief.
