When Should You See a Psychologist?
Adults face a variety of challenges and pressures in their personal and professional lives, including relationships with family, friends, and colleagues. Some of these experiences can be overwhelming or even traumatic, especially when they lack the skills or support to navigate them effectively. This can lead to feelings of unhappiness, stress, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion. Additionally, some individuals may struggle with specific psychological issues that require professional intervention.
Psychological therapy offers a supportive path forward. It helps individuals address their concerns, develop effective coping strategies, and regain a sense of balance, happiness, and well-being in their lives.

We offer the following therapeutic approaches:
​
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Helps you recognise and change unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and emotional challenges.
-
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
Teaches skills for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsive behaviour, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Supports greater psychological flexibility by helping you accept difficult emotions and take action in line with your values.
-
Schema Therapy
A deeper approach focused on identifying long-standing emotional patterns developed in early life and shifting unhelpful beliefs and behaviours.
Your psychologist will work with you to decide on the most appropriate approach and adjust it over time to ensure your therapy remains aligned with your evolving needs.
Why Consider Psychological Support?
Seeing a psychologist can offer powerful benefits:
​
-
Greater self-awareness: Understand the underlying emotional and behavioural patterns that influence your wellbeing.
-
Stronger coping strategies: Learn evidence-based tools and techniques you can use in daily life, even after therapy ends.

A supportive, confidential space: Gain clarity by exploring your experiences with a skilled professional in a non-judgmental setting.
Therapy can help you feel more empowered, build emotional resilience, and create meaningful change in your life and relationships.
