Therapies
Existential Therapy
Existential therapy is a philosophical rather than a psychological approach to therapy that focuses on you and your attitude towards your existence; your life, mortality, the world and the people and things you care about.
Existential philosophy recognises that life can and will continue to throw us as long as we live. Sometimes we get so heavily thrown off course that we lose ourselves, or sometimes this happens gradually in a way that we don’t even notice. This is where Existential Therapy helps. By dedicating time to understanding what matters to you in life and what has thrown you off course, it becomes clear what direction (if any) to go in for a more meaningful, satisfying life.
Existential therapists often use what is happening here-and-now in therapy to help locate their clients in their lives. This makes the therapeutic relationship a key part of the therapy and, in turn, helps with relationships outside of therapy.
Integrative Therapy
Integrative Therapy brings together ideas and techniques from different therapeutic approaches. It recognises that people and life are complex, so flexibility and adaptability are key to treating the whole person.
Every Integrative therapist is different, but they all share a commitment to being flexible, inclusive, and open-minded. They approach therapy with empathy and curiosity, tailoring their approach to suit you.
Working with an Integrative therapist might involve exploring what’s happening for you in the present, looking at how past experiences have shaped you, or simply having a space to reflect on your thoughts and feelings and discover new possibilities for yourself
Creative Therapies
Creative Therapies – including Art Therapy, Dramatherapy, Dance Therapy, and Movement Therapy – use both conversation and creative expression to support self-exploration, awareness, and change. Like other forms of therapy, the relationship with the therapist and the dialogue within sessions play a key role in bringing thoughts, emotions, and behaviours into awareness, helping you build agency and explore new possibilities.
What makes Creative Therapies unique is their use of non-verbal elements – such as drawing, painting, drama, dance, and movement – to help access parts of your experience that might be difficult to express through words alone.
A session with a creative therapist may feel like talking therapy but offers the added opportunity to use visual art, movement, or storytelling to deepen understanding and process emotions in new ways. Importantly, no artistic skill is required; the focus is on expression and exploration, not creating a finished product.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic therapy helps bring hidden parts of our lives into awareness, uncovering the patterns, motivations, and emotions that shape us.
By exploring past experiences and relationships, a therapist can help you understand why you think, feel, and react the way you do, so you can break free from old habits and feel more in control of your life.
Psychodynamic therapy is focused on understanding your relationships with others, including the therapist. The therapeutic relationship provides a safe space to explore not just what’s happening in your life, but also how you relate to significant others, uncovering patterns that may be shaping your experiences.
Humanistic Therapy
Humanistic therapy is a philosophical approach to therapy that focuses on self-awareness, personal growth, and your capacity for choice and change, rather than simply treating symptoms.
While there are different branches within humanistic therapy, they all share a commitment to creating a non-judgmental, compassionate space where you can explore what makes you uniquely you and take ownership of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
Therapy sessions are guided by what you bring, helping you explore your motivations, strengths, and any blocks that might be holding you back from reaching your full potential.
Person-Centred Therapy
Person-Centred Therapy is a branch of humanistic therapy that focuses on creating the right conditions for you to reach your full potential and become your true self.
The therapist’s role is to foster these conditions by fully accepting you as you are, being authentic in how they experience you, and deeply empathising with your perspective. Rather than leading the process, they follow your lead, helping you explore what might be limiting your growth.
Instead of offering tools or techniques, Person-Centred Therapy creates a space where you can connect with your own strengths and resources, empowering you to navigate future challenges with greater confidence and autonomy.
Gestalt Therapy
Gestalt therapy is a dynamic branch of humanistic therapy that focuses on raising awareness of what’s happening in the present moment – both in the session and within yourself. It encourages exploration and experimentation, helping you notice how you think, feel, and act in real time.
A Gestalt therapist is actively involved in the process and may invite you to experiment with movement, dialogue, or materials in the room to deepen your self-awareness and discover new ways of responding.
Rooted in the belief that we are whole beings – made up of body, mind, and soul, yet more than the sum of these parts – Gestalt therapy pays attention not only to what you say but also to how you say it, including body language, emotions, and tone. This holistic approach helps bring unconscious patterns into awareness, opening new possibilities for growth and change.
Transpersonal Therapy
Transpersonal therapy evolved from humanistic approaches but places a deeper emphasis on the spiritual dimension of human experience. It views personal growth as not just about healing past wounds but also about expanding your sense of self and exploring your connection to something greater – whether that’s community, nature, or a sense of purpose.
The aim of transpersonal therapy is to help you move beyond limiting views of yourself and open new ways of approaching life’s challenges. To do this, it draws on techniques from both Western psychology and broader traditions, including meditation, breathwork, visualisation, and creative practices.
It’s a holistic approach that supports emotional, psychological, and spiritual growth, helping you explore meaning, purpose, and potential in your life.
Systemic & Family Therapy
Systemic Psychotherapy, also known as Family Therapy, supports families, parents, couples, and individuals in navigating relationship challenges. It offers a safe space to explore the patterns of behaviour and emotional dynamics that have developed over time, helping to improve understanding and create opportunities for meaningful change.
For families and couples, systemic therapy focuses on strengthening relationships by encouraging open communication and reflection, all within a non-blaming, supportive environment. It helps identify problematic cycles and offers tools for building healthier connections.
For individuals, systemic therapy can help explore how your relationships – past and present – impact your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It offers a space to better understand your challenges, make use of your strengths, and develop new coping strategies, all while considering the wider social and relational context of your life.
Relationship and Couples Therapy
Relationship and Couples Therapy offers a safe space to explore your relationship and how you communicate. It helps you notice patterns, clear up misunderstandings, and find healthier ways of relating to each other.
With greater clarity and understanding, you and your partner can make more informed decisions about what’s best for your future – whether that’s working through challenges, growing apart, or strengthening your connection.
Every relationship therapist has their own approach, but all share a commitment to helping you communicate more openly, so you can better hear each other and be heard.
Whether you’re addressing a specific issue or feeling stuck in recurring patterns, couples therapy creates space for growth, understanding, and meaningful change, whatever direction that may take.
Psychosexual Therapy
Psychosexual therapy provides a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space to explore challenges affecting sexual confidence, performance, and satisfaction. Whether you're experiencing difficulties as an individual or in a relationship, therapy can help improve pleasure and connection.
Common issues explored in psychosexual therapy include loss of desire, difficulties with arousal, pain during sex, erectile dysfunction, premature or delayed ejaculation, and concerns around intimacy, shame, or past experiences.
Your therapist will approach your experience with compassion and curiosity, supporting you in building sexual confidence, self-esteem, and a more fulfilling intimate life.
Children & Young People
Children and young people sometimes face emotional or psychological challenges that parents and carers may feel unsure how to address. These challenges could stem from trauma, a major life event, loss, or struggles with emotions.
A therapist provides a safe, welcoming space and meets the child or young person where they are, helping them explore their feelings, build self-esteem, improve communication, and develop in a healthy, balanced way.
The therapist will always use developmentally appropriate methods, including conversation, creativity, and play, to support the child or young person in their emotional growth.
LGBTQ+ Therapy
While all our therapists are committed to inclusive practice, some are specifically trained in LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy. This means they validate and affirm your gender and sexuality, ensuring that you feel fully supported and accepted throughout the therapy.
Even if the challenges you're facing don’t directly relate to your gender or sexuality, knowing that your therapist will approach your experience with acceptance can help create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore every part of yourself freely.
Neurodiversity-affirming Therapy
All our therapists are committed to inclusive practice, but some have specific training in Neurodiversity-affirming therapy. This means they validate and affirm the neurodivergent experience, approaching it with empathy and a deep understanding of different abilities and ways of relating to others.
Working with a Neurodiversity-affirming therapist creates a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore life's challenges with someone who is compassionate, non-pathologizing, and committed to meeting you exactly as you are.
