Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is a groundbreaking therapeutic approach primarily used to treat individuals who have experienced trauma. It was developed to alleviate the distressing symptoms associated with traumatic memories.

This technique involves a structured eight-phase process, during which the therapist guides the client through targeted eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation. The goal is to help the individual reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional charge and facilitating healing.

Exposure Therapy

Exposure therapy is a behavioural technique commonly employed to treat anxiety disorders, phobias, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

The premise behind exposure therapy is to gradually expose the individual to the source of their anxiety or fear in a controlled and safe environment. Over time, repeated exposure helps desensitise the person to the fear or anxiety, allowing them to develop healthier coping mechanisms.

Play Therapy

Play therapy is a specialised technique often used with children to address a wide range of emotional and behavioural challenges. Through the use of play and creative activities, such as art and games, children can express their thoughts and emotions in a non-threatening and natural way. Play therapy enables therapists to gain insight into a child's inner world and provides a platform for communication and healing.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

SFBT is a goal-oriented and time-limited approach that focuses on solutions rather than dwelling on problems. Therapists using SFBT work collaboratively with clients to identify their goals and explore possible solutions. This technique emphasizes clients' strengths and resources, helping them develop practical strategies to achieve their desired outcomes.
