Our therapeutic approaches
We combine evidence-based therapy with meditation, yoga and mindfulness for a holistic approach to body, mind and soul.
Person-centred counselling
Person-centred counselling is 100% client-led and non-directive. Instead of giving advice, the therapist offers active listening and reflection, so you feel heard and not judged.
Sessions focus on the present moment, self-acceptance and deciding how you want to grow, helping you resolve life problems in your own way.
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
CBT is backed by strong scientific evidence. It is based on the idea that psychological problems come partly from unhelpful ways of thinking and learned patterns of behaviour, and that people can learn better ways of coping.
Changing thinking patterns may include:
- Recognising distortions in thinking and checking them against reality
- Better understanding the behaviour and motivation of others
- Using problem-solving skills in difficult situations
- Building confidence in your own abilities
Changing behaviour patterns may include:
- Facing fears instead of avoiding them
- Role-play to prepare for difficult conversations
- Learning to calm the mind and relax the body
Mindfulness, yoga and sound
Our workshops use meditation, breathwork, yoga and sound baths to calm the nervous system, release tension and build resilience in a supportive group.
