Services
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
CBT helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviours. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and OCD. Our clinicians tailor techniques to each patient's needs, focusing on practical solutions and skill-building for long-term mental wellbeing.
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
This therapy explores unconscious patterns and past experiences impacting current mental health. Suitable for long-term emotional issues, it helps patients understand deep-seated conflicts through a collaborative approach, fostering self-awareness and personal growth.
Child & Adolescent Psychiatry
Specialised care for children and teens with conditions like ADHD, anxiety, and self-harm. Our psychiatrists use evidence-based interventions, including family therapy and medication management, to support healthy development and family dynamics.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR addresses PTSD and trauma by processing distressing memories to reduce their psychological impact. Clinicians guide patients through eye movements or other bilateral stimulation, helping the brain reprocess traumatic experiences effectively.
Family Therapy
This approach improves communication and resolves conflicts within families. Therapists work with all members to address relationship dynamics, attachment issues, and collective challenges, promoting healthier interactions and mutual understanding.
