Our approach
We take a holistic approach to the treatment of anxiety and trauma, integrating the latest evidence-based techniques and compassionate, clinical care to help you achieve optimum outcomes. This may include:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): To help you identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety and trauma symptoms.
- Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR): A psychotherapy that focuses on processing traumatic memories to reduce their emotional impact.
- Trauma-Informed Care: Our therapists are trained in trauma-informed care and value establishing a sense of safety, trustworthiness, choice, collaboration and empowerment throughout the therapeutic process.

What to expect
Within your first session we will conduct a thorough assessment to better understand your unique challenges, priorities and goals. Through a process of occupational formulation we will consider various facets contributing towards your current difficulties, extending beyonding the psychological and including neurological, physiological and sensory domains.
We’ll then recommend an intervention plan to deliver within upcoming sessions, collaborating with you throughout to ensure this appropriately addresses your needs and preferences.
Therapy sessions provide a non-judgement, confidential container for you to explore your thoughts and feelings within, with clients often describing these as feeling like a “safe” and “healing sanctuary”. We believe that knowledge is power and strive to work with you to help you understand your triggers, the reasons for these and ways you can work with your mind, body and spiritual self for optimum wellbeing.
We will also support you to up-skill where helpful to increase your resilience and enable you to exit therapy with an increased sense of confidence, capability and self-belief. We are here to offer guidance, support and encouragement every step of the way during your recovery journey.
