Humanistic, psychodynamic, CBT and integrative care.

These are the main therapeutic approaches the team can draw from, so visitors can understand the options before making an enquiry.

Humanistic counselling

A person-centred approach that gives people space to feel heard, build self-understanding and reconnect with their own strengths, values and choices.

Psychodynamic counselling

Explores how past experiences, attachment patterns and unconscious feelings can shape present relationships, self-belief and emotional responses.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour, using structured tools to challenge unhelpful patterns and practise new responses.

Integrative psychotherapy

Combines approaches such as CBT, humanistic, psychodynamic, mindfulness and trauma-focused work so the support can fit the person, not the other way round.

Trauma-focused support

Works carefully with trauma, abuse, grief, shame, confidence, attachment and safety, with pacing that protects the client's emotional stability.

Mindfulness and solution-focused tools

Practical exercises can support emotional regulation, self-awareness and small achievable steps when people need stabilisation and direction.
