Schema Therapy: Addressing deep-seated patterns and maladaptive schemas that often result from early-life experiences, promoting lasting change.

Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Identifying and restructuring negative thought patterns to promote healthier behaviours and emotions.

Mindfulness Practices: Integrating mindfulness techniques to enhance self-awareness, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): A powerful therapy for processing traumatic memories and fostering adaptive coping mechanisms.

Clinical Hypnosis is a therapeutic technique that involves using hypnosis as a tool to facilitate a state of focused attention, imagery or relaxation.
