Assessment and Treatment

Assessment
A comprehensive psychotherapy assessment is conducted before commencing treatment to ensure that we are addressing your primary needs and requirements. This involves discussing factors such as early life experiences, development, and the main areas of difficulty in the present.

Dynamic Therapy
Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy is a way of working that is exploratory and uses the human relationship with a therapist to gain a deep understanding of emotional and psychological processes, helping to resolve deeper rooted problems with anxiety and depression.
This is typically a mid-longer term therapy that is helpful for problems relating to early life experiences, sexual dysfunction, persisting problems in relationships, recurring depression and social anxiety where brief therapies such as CBT have not proven to be helpful.

CBT
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is typically a highly structured short-mid term therapy mostly focussing on breaking current cycles of thoughts, feelings, and actions.
CBT can help with problems such as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Panic and Health Anxiety, or where someone requires short term symptom management.
Trauma-focussed CBT has a good evidence base for treating single event trauma (PTSD).

EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing is an advanced psychotherapy that uses bilateral eye movements, audio and tactile stimulation to aid the re-processing of traumatic memories that still impact significantly in the present.
It is particularly effective in the treatment of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and complex PTSD (including multiple traumatic events) as well as other persistent / chronic anxiety based problems.
