EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy approach designed to alleviate distress associated with traumatic memories.

EMDR is effective in treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and various psychological conditions. By promoting adaptive information processing, EMDR enables clients to integrate distressing memories more healthily, leading to symptom relief and improved mental well-being.

Schema Therapy

Schema Therapy is a longer-term therapeutic process. In Schema Therapy, we address unmet childhood needs and how they are presented in adulthood. The focus is on learning how to identify, express and cope effectively with psychological needs in a healthy way.

Schema Therapy involves cognitive, emotional and behavioural interventions.
