What Are CBT, DBT, and Psychology Services?
Understanding therapies
Psychological therapy provides a safe and confidential space to explore emotional difficulties, behavioural patterns, relationships, stress, trauma, and mental health concerns.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a structured talking therapy that focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts, behaviours, and emotional responses. It is highly effective for anxiety, depression, OCD, panic attacks, stress, and low self-esteem.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
DBT is a specialist therapy designed to help individuals manage intense emotions, improve relationships, tolerate distress, and develop healthier coping strategies. It is particularly helpful for emotional dysregulation, impulsivity, self-harm, and personality-related difficulties.
