What is CBT?

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying the interaction between our thoughts, behaviours, emotions and physical symptoms and making changes within these cycles. CBT can support you with challenging your thinking, adapting your responses and regaining some control over your emotions. A change in one can often lead to shifts in other areas, meaning that CBT can help you to develop practical strategies to make lasting changes in your emotional wellbeing.

CBT can be adapted to and tailored to your needs and has a strong evidence base for success when used with a number of common difficulties.


What is EMDR?

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a treatment used for helping people to overcome distressing events that have occurred and the impact these have on their everyday lives, such as flashbacks. At times when people feel overwhelmed, their memories can remain unprocessed, which can lead to intense, vivid and distressing re-experiencing of them in the future. EMDR aims to help people reprocess and desensitise the memories, so they are able to be recalled without the associated strong emotions.

EMDR works through alternating left and right stimulation of the brain through eye movements, sounds or taps, which engage the brains information processing systems and enable memories to be processed. EMDR also has a strong evidence base, with both the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recognising its value.
