Talking Therapies

 

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

CBT aims to understand our difficulties by exploring the way we think and behave which we find can at times be unhelpful. We can then learn better ways of coping and making change to improve our quality of life.

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy

ACT is a therapeutic approach that helps embrace our thoughts and emotions rather than fighting or feeling guilty about them, while also committing to actions that align with our values to create and live a more meaningful life.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing

EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that helps process and heal from traumatic or distressing experiences by using bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements. It supports the brain in reprocessing memories so they feel less overwhelming, allowing someone to move forward with greater emotional balance and resilience.

Compassion Focused Therapy

CFT is a therapeutic approach that helps us develop self-compassion and emotional resilience by understanding and soothing our inner struggles with kindness rather than self-criticism. This can be particularly helpful with self-esteem, self-acceptance and improve our mood.

  • “I really appreciate that you made me feel at ease, relaxed and comfortable when speaking about things. You created a trusting atmosphere that helped me open up and speak freely." - CR

  • “I had an incredibly positive experience working with Carine Avekian through CBT. What truly set her apart was her dedication to making sure the approach worked for me personally. When one technique didn’t quite resonate, she didn’t hesitate to explore other strategies within the CBT framework until we found the right fit.”

    She consistently asked insightful, in-depth questions that helped uncover patterns in my thinking and behavior, allowing us to address the root of the issues rather than just the surface symptoms. On occasions when we were discussing something particularly important, she made sure I felt fully heard - even if it meant taking a few extra minutes to thoughtfully wrap up the conversation. That kind of care made a real difference.” - CP

  • “Carine honestly saved my life, I felt so lost and hopeless but she was always there to guide me towards better times with compassion and care. Probably the most caring woman I have ever met, always listened without judgement.

    I found all of the sessions well structured and beneficial, especially reading Stephen Hayes a liberated mind in conjunction with the sessions was helpful” - SMB

  • “Carine was really really helpful and was always listening to me. I felt I could finally find someone who could understand what I was going through. That made me feel really good about the therapy as I had concerns about sharing my personal experiences. But Carine made it really easy so am really thankful.” - SNF
