Some of our Specialties

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is a psychotherapeutic model that views the human psyche as a complex system composed of distinct inner parts, each with its unique emotions, intentions, and roles. At the core of IFS is the concept of the "Self," representing an individual's calm, compassionate, and integrated center. IFS therapists guide clients in identifying and understanding their inner parts, addressing emotional conflicts, and fostering cooperation among these parts. By doing so, individuals can heal emotional wounds, enhance self-awareness, reduce symptoms of distress, and ultimately achieve self-leadership, promoting personal growth, emotional balance, and well-being.

Post Induction Therapy (PIT)

Post Induction Therapy (PIT) is an approach to trauma treatment and recovery that was developed by Pia Mellody, a renowned clinical consultant, lecturer, and author. It is designed to address the impact of childhood trauma, dysfunctional family systems, and the ongoing effects of such experiences. PIT incorporates a range of therapeutic techniques and interventions, drawing from various therapeutic modalities such as psychoeducation, experiential therapy, and cognitive-behavioral approaches. It aims to help individuals heal from the wounds of early emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, as well as neglect and abandonment. The therapy process in PIT involves identifying and resolving trauma-related issues, developing healthy coping skills, and promoting personal growth and resilience. It provides a structured framework for individuals to work through their traumatic experiences, understand the underlying dynamics of their past, and heal from the resulting emotional and psychological wounds. Through PIT, individuals learn to regulate their emotions, address maladaptive coping mechanisms, and rebuild their self-esteem and self-worth. It focuses on helping individuals develop healthier boundaries, improve communication and relational skills, and create a more fulfilling and purposeful life. PIT is typically facilitated by therapists or clinicians who have received specialized training in the approach. The therapy sessions are tailored to the unique needs and circumstances of each individual, providing a safe and supportive environment for healing and growth. By addressing the root causes of trauma and dysfunctional patterns, Post Induction Therapy aims to empower individuals to overcome the impact of their early experiences, heal from the wounds of the past, and build a healthier and more fulfilling future.

This Little-Known Supplement Improves Sleep

Supplement found to buffer the body against stress and improve sleep. For a long time probiotics — the so-called ‘good bacteria’ in fermented foods and elsewhere — have been linked to all sorts of physical and psychological benefits. Now the lesser-known prebiotics are getting in on the act. Prebiotics are dietary fibres found in foods such as: Onions, leeks, artichokes, and chicory. Prebiotic fibre — also available as dietary supplements — can improve the health of your gut by helping beneficial bacteria to multiply. New research has found that prebiotics

These Questions Linked To Lower Depression And Anxiety

Allow yourself to consider these question for better mental health. Asking yourself the ‘big questions’ about life is linked to lower depression and anxiety, new research finds. People who do not resist existential concerns about the meaning of life have better mental health. Fear of confronting these kinds of questions, though, is linked to problems regulating the emotions. Professor Julie Exline, study’s co-author said: “Religious and spiritual struggles — conflicts with God or religious people, tough questions about faith, morality, and the meaning of life — these are often taboo

How Brain Activity Can Reduce Anxiety

The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is involved in planning, reasoning and decision-making. Improving general cognitive functioning could help to reduce anxiety, new research suggests. This area is highly involved in planning, reasoning and decision-making. Increasing brain activity in areas related to thinking and problem solving is linked to reduced anxiety, the study found. People at risk for anxiety were less likely to develop the disorder when they had more activity in brain areas related to complex mental operations. Memory and brain training, along with psychological therapies could all help to boost

Here’s Why Sleep Deprivation Makes You Feel Zoned Out

Why sleep deprivation feels like being drunk without drinking anything. Sleep deprivation disrupts communication between brain cells, new research finds. These disruptions can lead to temporary lapses in memory and even hallucinations. This helps to explain why sleep deprivation leaves people feeling so spaced out. Professor Itzhak Fried, who led the study, said: “We discovered that starving the body of sleep also robs neurons of the ability to function properly. This paves the way for cognitive lapses in how we perceive and react to the world around us.” The study

This Is The Mental Hallmark Of Depression

Why negative thoughts make some people depressed, while others quickly dismiss them. “Sticky thoughts” are the hallmark of depression, research finds. Bad things happen to most of us at some point, but some people take it worse than others. This is partly down to the inability to mentally turn away from them. Thoughts about negative experiences can get ‘stuck’ in the brain. Professor Jutta Joormann, the study’s first author, explained what happens in the minds of depressed people: “They basically get stuck in a mindset where they relive what happened

Counseling for New Mothers

For new moms, it can be upsetting and frightening to have feelings about motherhood that don’t seem “right.” For some women, a morning run, a healthy diet and receiving help and support from family and friends are sufficient enough to get through the initial adjustment period. For others, talking to a therapist who specializes in dealing with new motherhood issues can be comforting, relieving and enlightening. Therapists who have extensive education and training in post-partum disorders understand that hormone changes, personal and family history, and social support are all vital factors in understanding and alleviating postpartum symptoms.

Counseling for Trauma

Most people will experience trauma in their lifetime whether it’s a car accident, abuse or neglect, the sudden death of a loved one, a violent criminal act, exposure to the violence of war, or a natural disaster. While many people can recover from trauma over time with the love and support of family and friends and bounce back with resiliency, others may discover effects of lasting trauma, which can cause a person to live with deep emotional pain, fear, confusion, or posttraumatic stress far after the event has passed. In these circumstances, the support, guidance and assistance of a therapist is fundamental to healing from trauma.
