Therapeutic approaches
Therapy is tailored to your needs, experiences and goals. Approaches are often integrated and adapted over time.
CBT focuses on understanding the connection between thoughts, emotions and behaviours. It can help identify unhelpful thinking patterns, develop coping skills and support meaningful behavioural change for concerns such as anxiety, depression, OCD and emotional regulation difficulties.
ACT supports people to develop greater psychological flexibility by learning to respond differently to difficult thoughts and emotions. Therapy focuses on values, mindfulness and creating a life aligned with what matters most.
DBT supports emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness and mindfulness. It can be helpful for people who experience intense emotions, relationship difficulties, self-criticism or feeling emotionally overwhelmed.
Schema Therapy explores long-standing emotional patterns and core beliefs that may have developed through early life experiences. It can help people understand repeating difficulties in relationships, emotions or self-worth and create healthier ways of coping.
EMDR and Cognitive Processing Therapy are trauma-focused approaches that help people process distressing memories, reframe beliefs shaped by traumatic experiences and reduce ongoing emotional distress.
Rachel's work is informed by attachment-focused and trauma-informed models that emphasise emotional safety, connection and understanding within relationships.
FBT is a leading evidence-based approach for adolescent eating disorders, positioning parents and caregivers as central resources in recovery. CBT-E is a transdiagnostic psychological treatment designed for eating disorders in adolescents and adults.
These approaches support deeper understanding of emotional experiences, relational patterns and processes that may influence how we think, feel and respond in the present.
