Relationship therapy

Relationship therapy is a treatment that focuses on the present rather than past experiences. Structured treatment that works for those needing to focus on a specific problem, CBT is a short-term-based methodology.

With Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, we break down the more prominent issues piece by piece into easier-to-tackle problems that can be addressed at your pace. This makes your phobia, health issue or other mental health condition much less daunting.

CBT aims to provide coping methods to manage stressful situations or negative triggers. These can be physical or harmful thoughts and feelings. This type of therapy requires client participation to achieve progress.

This treatment type is recommended for those trying to break a negative cycle with thoughts or behaviours that affect your day-to-day.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness has become popular as a way to balance yourself through breathing and meditation exercises. Though this type of therapy uses mindfulness techniques, it also goes further to employ elements of cognitive therapy.

Mindfulness-based therapy teaches critical attitudes (such as patience and trust) to create a calmer, stable self. 

Learning to be kind to yourself and being content to live in the present is one of the main principles of mindfulness-based therapy. As well as teaching emotional regulation, Mindfulness- based therapy strategies can also provide a way to interrupt triggers for negative, often spiralling thoughts.

If you have physical or mental symptoms that spiral, mindfulness might be the option that works for you.

Psychoeducation

If you’ve been diagnosed with or wish to learn more about the effect of mental health challenges, psychoeducation seeks to educate you on how they work or why they can cause you to feel or act a certain way.

Too often, individuals are diagnosed with disorders but are left feeling lost with little explanation. Psychoeducation seeks to empower those with knowledge. This can also include family members or care-givers who might not know or understand how best to interact with those with mental illness or trauma.
