Trauma-focused CBT
This treatment is specialised for survivors of trauma. Trauma-focused CBT works by focusing on managing the memories of the trauma so that you can help your brain adjust to what has happened. This has been shown to help reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Schema-focused CBT
Here we explore the rules and assumptions governing the way we think and behave. Schema-focused CBT looks at where these behaviours come from and the impact on day-to-day experiences. Understanding our rules and assumptions, managing them, and adjusting them so that they are helpful and adaptive can help to resolve emotional problems
Compassion-Focused CBT
Compassion-focused CBT explores defensive coping mechanisms from childhood and their impact on our strategies for coping with day-to-day stress.
Mindfulness-based CBT
Mindfulness-based CBT uses mindfulness meditation techniques to develop the ability to have increased awareness of our emotional state and better emotional regulation.
