Modalities

Types of psychotherapy.

The approach is matched to what you're bringing — short-term, medium-term or long-term work, across these evidence-based modalities.

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

Helps patients understand and become comfortable with underlying emotions that are distressing or confusing — exploring unconscious patterns and how past experience shapes present life.
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)

A structured, task-based approach where patients identify negative thoughts and behaviours and replace them with healthier ones. Effective for anxiety, depression, PTSD and OCD.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

A third-wave CBT approach focused on psychological flexibility — accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to action aligned with personal values.
Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT)

A family therapy that helps parent and child repair their relationship and work to develop or rebuild an emotionally secure bond. Especially helpful for adolescent depression and suicidality.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

A form of CBT used with older adolescents and adults experiencing chronic suicidal feelings, emotion dysregulation or self-harm. Teaches behavioural skills for managing stress and relationships.
Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)

Focuses on the relational context of mental health. Used for depression, mood disorders, eating disorders, perinatal depression and dysthymia.
Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT)

Helps people — particularly children, teens and adults with personality difficulties — make sense of their own and others' mental states.
Family Therapy

Enables family members to express and explore difficult thoughts and emotions safely, and to understand each other's experience.
Parent-Child Therapy

Strengthens the parent-child relationship and increases positive interactions — especially valuable in early childhood and where attachment has been disrupted.
Couples Therapy

Focuses on improving communication, understanding and connection between partners. Gottman Method (Level 2) trained.
Group Therapy

Multiple patients led by a therapist — using group dynamics and peer interaction to deepen understanding of mental illness and develop social skills.
Play Therapy

For younger children — using toys, blocks, dolls, drawings and games to help children recognise, identify and verbalise feelings they can't yet put into words.
