Overview

We provide individual therapy to individuals who present with the full range of mental health problems as well as long-standing mental health difficulties, including forensic issues. We have specific expertise in providing Schema Therapy.

Schema therapy is a highly effective approach that is based on cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), but has been enriched and expanded to make it one of the most transformative styles of therapy currently available. Schema therapy can often help even the most stubborn, hard-to-treat, longstanding problems that other approaches cannot shift. It is a warm, compassionate, creative approach that can heal deep hurts and trauma, whatever you may have been through in your life.
