INDIVIDUAL
Therapy.
Therapy at Being Human Psychology is for people who are ready to stop white-knuckling it alone.
What therapy looks like here
At Being Human Psychology we work in a goal-oriented way, which doesn't mean rigid or rushed. It means we're always working toward something real for you, not just talking in circles.
We'll get curious about why you are the way you are. We'll explore what's shaped you, what's keeping you stuck, and what actually needs to change, not what looks good on paper. Then we'll build practical skills to help you get there.
You don't have to have it all figured out. You don't have to arrive with the right words. You just have to show up, and we'll figure out the rest from there.
OUR AREAS OF FOCUS
Life is complicated, and so are people. Here's what we commonly support, though if something isn't on this list and you're wondering if it fits, reach out. It probably does.
Trauma, PTSD & CPTSD
Anxiety & panic
Grief or loss
Autism & ADHD
Perfectionism & low self-esteem
Life transitions & adjustments
Daily stress & relationship difficulties
Modalities
Every human is unique in their needs and the therapeutic approach that works best for them. We draw from a range of evidence-based modalities and tailor the approach to you: your goals, your history, what your nervous system actually needs.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy that helps people heal from trauma, anxiety, PTSD, phobias, and negative self-beliefs. It works by using guided eye movements, tapping, or sound to help the brain reprocess painful memories, reducing their emotional impact. EMDR offers a quicker and effective alternative to traditional talk therapy, helping people feel calmer and more in control without erasing their memories.
If past experiences are still affecting your life, EMDR might be a good next step. You can find out more about EMDR Therapy here.

At the heart of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is the idea that we can accept what is out of our personal control and commit to action that improves and enriches our life.
ACT is often useful in treating anxiety, depression, grief and adjustment difficulties.
-
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) was originally developed for people with borderline personality disorder (BPD) but has been adapted to help those with various mental health issues like substance use disorders, eating disorders, and depression.
DBT is often useful in treating personality disorders such as BPD, and anxiety disorders.
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a type of talk therapy that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected. This therapy is based on the idea that what we think and believe affects how we feel and act. Through CBT, people can learn to recognise and change unhelpful thought patterns, swap negative behaviours for better ones, and build skills to handle life's challenges.
CBT is often used to treat anxiety and depression.
-
Ego states are thought to represent various aspects of the self, developed in response to past experiences and relationships. Ego state interventions (parts work) focuses on exploring and understanding the different parts, or "ego states," within an individual's personality.
The goal of utilising ego state interventions is to help wounded parts heal, create harmony between all parts of the self, and restore mental and emotional balance.
Ego state interventions can be used to treat anxiety, depression, trauma, and phobias, among other mental health struggles.
