Therapies for child psychology

At our practice, we offer a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to meet the unique needs of children and adolescents. Our goal is to provide a supportive and understanding environment where your child can thrive. Here are some of the therapies we might use:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): CBT helps children understand and manage their thoughts and behaviours, providing practical strategies to cope with anxiety, depression, and other issues.
• Play Therapy: This therapeutic approach uses play as a medium for children to express their feelings, understand their experiences, and develop coping skills in a way that feels natural to them.
• Family Therapy: Involving family members in therapy can help address family dynamics and improve communication, providing a supportive network for the child.
• Behavioural Therapy: Focusses on reinforcing positive behaviours and reducing problematic ones through structured techniques and strategies.
• Mindfulness and relaxation techniques: Teaching children mindfulness and relaxation exercises can help them manage stress and develop emotional regulation skills.
• Supportive counselling: Providing a safe and non-judgemental space for children to express their feelings and experiences is crucial for their emotional development.

Supporting your child’s mental and emotional health is essential for their overall development and wellbeing. Child psychology provides a compassionate and effective approach to address the unique challenges that children face.

During our initial discussions, we’ll take the time to get to know your child and understand their particular circumstances. This understanding will guide us in recommending the most appropriate therapeutic strategies for them. For younger children, this will involve close collaboration with parents, and possibly communications with others involved in their care, such as the child’s school. For teens, parental involvement may be at their discretion (depending on age and circumstances). Ask our friendly team if you have questions about how this works.

If you would like to seek support, our team is here to help you. Simply give us a call when you feel ready to get started.

Therapies for couples counselling

At our practice, we offer a range of therapeutic approaches designed to support couples in navigating their relationship challenges. Our goal is to provide you with the tools and strategies needed to enhance your relationship. Here are some of the therapies we might use:

• Gottman Method: This approach helps couples build a stronger foundation through improved communication, conflict resolution, and emotional connection.
• Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy (PACT): PACT focusses on the biological and psychological aspects of relationships, helping couples understand their interactions and foster secure attachments.
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): CBT focusses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviours that impact your relationship.
• Solution-Focussed Therapy: This brief therapy focusses on identifying and building solutions rather than dwelling on problems, helping couples find practical ways to improve their relationship.
• Supportive counselling: Providing a safe and non-judgemental space for both partners to express their feelings and concerns is crucial in the counselling process.

Maintaining a healthy and fulfilling relationship can be challenging, but you don’t have to go it alone. Couples counselling offers a supportive space to address your issues and strengthen your bond.

During our initial discussions, we’ll take the time to get to know you both and understand your particular circumstances. This understanding will guide us in recommending the most appropriate therapeutic strategies for you.
