Services
Psychodynamic Counselling
Psychodynamic counselling explores unconscious patterns affecting current behaviour through therapist-client collaboration. This approach addresses deep-seated emotional issues and relationship dynamics by examining past experiences. Clients develop self-awareness and break negative behavioural cycles through regular weekly sessions.
CBT Techniques
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques target anxiety and depression by restructuring negative thought patterns. Practical exercises help clients manage symptoms like chest tightness and panic attacks. Sessions focus on present challenges while developing coping strategies for immediate relief and long-term resilience.
Bereavement Support
Specialised support for loss-related emotional distress combines traditional counselling with mindfulness practices. Clients process grief symptoms while learning breathing techniques to manage physical manifestations. The service addresses both recent bereavement and unresolved past losses affecting current wellbeing.
Mindfulness Training
Mindfulness training integrates breathing exercises and meditation to reduce anxiety symptoms. Clients learn to observe thoughts without judgment while developing present-moment awareness. Techniques are tailored to individual needs, complementing other therapeutic approaches for comprehensive emotional management.
Yoga Therapy
Yoga therapy combines movement and breathing techniques to release physical tension from stress. Individualised sessions teach self-regulation tools for managing anxiety symptoms. The practice enhances traditional counselling by addressing mind-body connections in emotional wellbeing.
