What psychological therapy is right for me?

There are many different types of psychological therapy. Some are based more on talking through issues and expressing feelings. Others are very strategy based -they involve learning and trying new ways to manage feelings and thoughts. Still others look at relationship patterns and communication skills. It is important to use evidenced-based therapies because these have been researched and found to be effective. But it is important to choose the right fit for you and the right fit for the problem. To help your choice, here are some of the common therapies we use:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Mindfulness Therapy
• Narrative Therapy
• Emotion-Focussed Therapy
• Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)
