FAQs
How can you help with anxiety?
We help clients manage anxiety disorders, including generalised anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder, and specific phobias. Our psychologists use evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness techniques to help you reduce anxiety symptoms and regain confidence in daily life.
Do you provide treatment for depression?
Yes. We support clients with depression and mood disorders using proven approaches like CBT, ACT, and Schema Therapy. Our goal is to help you improve mood, motivation, and quality of life while addressing the underlying causes of depression.
What treatments do you offer for PTSD?
Our psychologists specialise in trauma therapy for PTSD and complex trauma. We use evidence-based approaches like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), Schema Therapy, and trauma-focused CBT to help reduce distress and process traumatic memories safely.
What is Schema Therapy, and who is it for?
Schema Therapy helps people identify and change long-standing patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving that developed in early life. It’s particularly effective for those with complex trauma, personality disorders, or recurring life difficulties. Our psychologists integrate Schema Therapy to help clients create healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.
What is EMDR therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a therapy that helps people process traumatic memories and reduce distress linked to trauma, PTSD, and painful life experiences. Our psychologists are trained in EMDR and tailor sessions to each client’s needs for safe and effective trauma treatment.
Do you have psychologists who work with DVA clients?
Yes. We have psychologists experienced in working with veterans and DVA clients. We provide assessments, reports, and therapy for PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression, and adjustment issues related to military service. We can help guide you through the DVA referral and claims process.
