The experience of a single or multiple highly distressing events can sometimes lead to the development of trauma, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or complex PTSD (CPTSD). Experiencing or witnessing events such as serious accidents, assaults, childhood trauma, physical/emotional/sexual abuse and neglect can lead to lasting problems including anger, rage, fear, panic, guilt, helplessness, sadness and shame. Symptoms can include flashbacks, nightmares, angry outbursts and mood problems. These can be successfully treated with the trauma therapies that we provide, such as EMDR therapy, trauma focused CBT and trauma counselling, which can help to relieve the symptoms and resolve trauma.

Longstanding or acute difficulties with anxiety and panic attack symptoms can cause significant disruptions in our life, often making daily tasks difficult. A combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to manage the symptoms, with other therapy approaches to explore the root cause of the anxiety issues, can lead to successful resolution of these difficulties, and provide long-term relief from anxiety. Learn more on our dedicated Anxiety and Panic Attacks page.
Finding yourself feeling low in mood and/or motivation on a regular basis can make functioning in daily life a challenge in itself.

The way we relate to others is typically established in our early relationships, particularly with our parents. These patterns can impact our relationships later in life and cause them to become disrupted, often placing strain on our interactions and the ways in which we relate to others. Identifying and exploring these issues with our attachment and relationship therapies can transform the way you approach your relationships going forward. Learn more on our dedicated page about Attachment and Relationship Issues.
Psychosis
Psychosis – experiencing unusual beliefs and/or visual or auditory hallucinations (e.g. hearing voices) – is a surprisingly common experience.

With CBT therapy, our therapists can help to provide much-needed relief from what can be a highly distressing experience for individuals experiencing these difficulties, as well as those around them.
