Talking therapy that helps you feel like yourself again
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), EMDR trauma therapy and counselling with qualified, registered therapists. Whatever is weighing on you – anxiety, low mood, trauma, relationships or living with pain – you don’t have to work through it alone.
A safe, supportive space to talk
Living with constant worry, low mood or the after-effects of a difficult experience can be exhausting. You might be avoiding things you used to enjoy, struggling to sleep, or feeling that your thoughts are running the show.
Therapy gives you time and space to understand what is keeping you stuck, and practical tools to make changes that last. Everything is tailored to you and your goals, at a pace that feels right.
Who it can help
Therapy can help adults who are:
- feeling anxious, low or overwhelmed
- struggling after a traumatic event or accident
- coping with chronic pain, illness or injury
- wanting to understand and change unhelpful patterns

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the links between your thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and behaviour. Together you’ll spot the patterns that keep problems going and learn practical strategies to break them, with skills you can keep using long after therapy ends.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing is a specialist, trauma-focused therapy. It helps you process distressing experiences that still affect you today, reducing the emotional intensity of difficult memories, thoughts and beliefs. It can also be used as part of managing persistent pain.
Counselling
Sometimes you need space to talk things through with someone who listens without judgement. Our integrative counselling draws on different approaches to suit you – a supportive, confidential place to understand patterns that affect your life and find new ways to look after your wellbeing.
