Different Kinds of Therapy for Different Kinds People

EMDR has been researched and developed widely since the 1980s. It  mostly uses eye movements (both rapid and slow - this is known as bi-lateral stimulation) to assist with reprocessing memories/thoughts/feelings that are "stuck" or negatively associated.

 

EMDR is used for assisting with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Complex Trauma and Chronic Pain Management amongst other things.  EMDR is safe for adults and children.

 

EMDR uses eye movements which can be difficult for some people. There are however, other options for people who are unable to do this.

Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) is based on a timeline "story telling" of a persons account of their life experience. It is usually used in trauma informed work and can be used with EMDR.

 

Face to face sessions are required to work with NET as some physical movement is required during the session. Narrative Exposure Therapy is suitable for children, young people and adults who have the ability to express themselves verbally. If you are uncomfortable with speaking or are unable to speak, there are other options we can use to engage with this form of therapy.

CBT is the worlds most researched and used therapeautic modality. It was initially developed to assist with treating Post Traumatuic Stress Disorder but is now also used to treat things such as Anxiety, Depression, Eating Disorders and many other Diagnoses.

​

DBT is another well researched and used therapeutic modalities. It was originally developed to assist people seeking help diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. But has since found favour for assistance with other diagnoses due to its focus on emotional regulation skills, relationship building and distress tolerance.

Expressive and creative therapies are available for all age ranges and abilities. These therapies provide a unique and effective way to explore emotions and promote healing through art, music, and movement.

 

Sand Tray therapy is also an option and can be used in conjunction with other therapies like EMDR and NET, but can also be used a stand alone therapy.
