Anxiety and worry
CBT can help with worry cycles, panic symptoms, avoidance, threat-focused attention
and feeling constantly on edge. The work centres on understanding how anxiety is
maintained and gradually testing new ways of responding in real situations.
Low mood and depression
CBT can help when low mood is maintained by withdrawal, reduced activity, negative
thinking, hopelessness or self-critical patterns. Therapy focuses on rebuilding
structure, confidence and meaningful activity, while working with the thoughts and
beliefs that keep mood low.
Confidence and self-criticism
Anxiety and low mood often affect how you see yourself. Therapy can help you notice
patterns of self-criticism, fear of judgement, perfectionism or comparison, and
develop a more balanced and useful way of relating to yourself and others.
Trauma and PTSD
EMDR and trauma-focused CBT can help when distressing experiences continue to affect
you in the present. This may include intrusive memories, triggers, nightmares,
avoidance, strong physical reactions, or feeling constantly on edge. Therapy aims to
reduce the current impact of traumatic memories and help you feel safer in the present.
Recovery and adjustment
Therapy can support recovery after traumatic or difficult life events, including
experiences relating to health, accidents, work, loss, relationship changes or major
life transitions. The focus is on making sense of what has happened, rebuilding
confidence, and developing practical ways to manage the next stage of life.
