Therapeutic modalities.
Therapy here is integrative rather than single-modality. Different difficulties call for different approaches, and the choice is made collaboratively — drawn from the traditions below, paced to what you actually need.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
A structured therapy for trauma and distressing memories, using bilateral stimulation to help the mind reprocess what it has not been able to settle. Often useful where talking alone has not resolved the charge a memory still carries.
EMDRIA (opens in a new tab)Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Builds psychological flexibility, the capacity to make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while still acting on what matters to you. Less about disputing a thought, more about changing your relationship to it.
ACBS (opens in a new tab)Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
Pairs acceptance with change, teaching concrete skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation and relationships. Particularly helpful where emotions run high and move quickly.
Behavioral Tech (opens in a new tab)Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
Examines the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and gently tests the patterns that keep a difficulty in place. Practical, structured, and well evidenced across many concerns.
Beck Institute (opens in a new tab)Schema Therapy
Works with long-standing patterns, the schemas, that form early and repeat across a life. Integrates cognitive, experiential and relational work toward deeper, more enduring change.
Schema Therapy Society (opens in a new tab)Psychodynamic Therapy
Attends to what sits beneath the surface, the recurring themes, relationships and feelings that shape us outside awareness. A reflective, exploratory way of understanding why things are as they are.
