Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
What is it?
CBT is evidence based, recognised by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) psychological therapy. Research and clinical trials have proven for it to be an effective treatment for anxiety and depression.
CBT aims to empower you to reclaim your life by providing you with tools and techniques to manage anxiety and depression.
CBT looks at your thoughts, emotions, behaviours and feelings. How all four areas influence one another. CBT aims to break unhelpful thinking styles and unhelpful coping strategies so you can take control of your life, to help you to respond to situations differently.
CBT provides you with practical tools and techniques that enable you to manage your low mood and anxiety so you become your own therapist.
EMDR Therapy
What is it?
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy is evidence based therapy recognised by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) for individuals presenting with signs and symptoms consistent with PTSD.
EMDR helps to process unresolved, distressing memories that cause immense distress and disturbance. It involves bringing up those memories in safe, supported environment to help file these disturbing memories. EMDR helps to reduce emotional intensity of traumatic memories and instead you remember it as something of the past and not as an event happening to you right now.
You will begin to recognise you are safe, protected and acknowledge the trauma is over and you have survived.
