Therapies

Each of the therapeutic approaches I use are supported by a robust research evidence base.  Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in particular is firmly embedded within the recommendations from NICE (National Institute of Clinical Excellence).  Compassion Focussed Therapy and Schema Therapy have both evolved from Cognitive Therapy and have a positive and growing evidence base and are approaches that I integrate to further inform standard CBT when indicated.   

Claire, Dan and Kasia are all trained in and have extensive experience working with CBT.  You will see from their indiviudal profiles how they have extended their practice with further specialist training.

Tracy has also recently started to develop a service for couples where elements of all of the therapeutic modalities outlined below can be useful (as well as others).  As with all of her work, an overall 'relational' approach - where the core idea is that mutually satisfying relationships with others are essential for a person's emotional and psychological wellbeing - is emphasised.  Central, as always, is the therapeutic relationship - a safe, empathetic and collaborative one - this relationship serves as a model for developing healthier relationships outside of therapy.  There is a bit more information on this service under the tab - Tracy Avis.
