Therapy Treatment & Interventions

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive-Behavioural therapy works on the premise that our thoughts, feelings and behaviours all interect and ultimately affect our lives. Through CBT you'll work to identify unhealthy and misleading thoughts, then replace them with healthier and more accurate ideas. CBT therapists often assign homework or even worksheets, so CBT works best when you're willing to do extensive work on your own, outside the walls of therapy.

Dialectical Behaviour Skills Therapy

Dialectical-behavioural therapy has shown remarkable promise at helping people manage their emotions and cope with distress even when they don't have an underlying mental health diagnosis. This approach blends individual and group therapy with life skills training, mindfulness-based approaches, and an intensive focus on helping you better identify, understand, and regulate your emotions, reactions, and behaviours.

Social Skills Training

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is a mental state of awareness, focus and openness – which allows you to engage fully in what you are doing at any moment. In a state of mindfulness, difficult thoughts and feelings have much less impact and influence over you – so it is hugely useful for everything from full-blown psychiatric illness to enhancing athletic or business performance.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, known as ‘ACT’ (pronounced as the word ‘act’) is a mindfulness based behavioural therapy that challenges the ground rules of most Western psychology. It utilises an eclectic mix of metaphor, paradox, and mindfulness skills, along with a wide range of experiential exercises and values-guided behavioural interventions. ACT has proven effective with a diverse range of clinical conditions; depression, OCD, workplace stress, chronic pain, the stress of terminal cancer, anxiety, PTSD, anorexia, heroin abuse, marijuana abuse, and even schizophrenia.
