Therapeutic Approaches

We draw from a range of evidence-based therapies and tailor each session to your goals, needs, and personality. These include:

• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT): For managing intense emotions, building distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): For understanding and reshaping unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours.
• Schema Therapy: For addressing long-standing emotional patterns, unmet needs, and core beliefs that may have developed in early life.
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): For building psychological flexibility and aligning with your values.
• Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR): For processing trauma and reducing distress linked to past experiences.

These approaches are integrated in a flexible, thoughtful way - no one-size-fits-all therapy here. Our goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered to make meaningful change.

At Receptive Psychology, we are not passive therapists. We offer active feedback, ask thoughtful questions and work alongside you to make sense of your experiences and patterns. We really get to know our clients and build a bond that lasts long-term.
