Therapeutic Approaches:
-
CBT is an evidence-based therapy that helps individuals understand and change how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are linked. It targets unhelpful thinking patterns causing emotional distress and helps find more balanced, constructive thoughts. This practical, collaborative approach includes structured sessions, homework, and skill-building tailored to your needs. CBT effectively treats anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, and more, empowering individuals with coping strategies and self-awareness for lasting mental well-being.
-
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a modern, evidence-based approach that helps individuals develop psychological flexibility, the ability to stay present, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take action guided by personal values. ACT focuses on building a meaningful life while learning to relate differently to challenging experiences. It combines mindfulness, acceptance strategies, and behaviour change techniques to support long-term emotional well-being.
-
Schema Therapy focuses on identifying and changing deeply rooted patterns, known as "schemas", that develop from unmet emotional needs in childhood and influence how we think, feel, and behave in adulthood. These schemas can lead to recurring life difficulties and emotional distress. Schema Therapy helps individuals understand these patterns, heal early emotional wounds, and develop healthier ways of coping and relating to others.
-
Trauma-Informed Therapy is an approach to psychological care that recognises the impact of trauma and understands how traumatic experiences can shape a person’s thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and relationships. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, it emphasises safety, empowerment, and collaboration. Caraiosa utilises trauma informed CBT, Somatic Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy & Attachment Based Therapy.
