Therapy.

Having a bit of a wobble after life has thrown you some curveballs, or feeling completely stuck in old patterns and wanting to break free?

We're Here

Therapy for Humans

At Being Human Psychology, we approach therapy in a goal-oriented manner. We'll get curious and learn about why you are the way you are, and how you can manage whatever is going on for you with practical skills.

We aim for therapy to be a safe space for learning and unlearning. A space of support and challenge, where you don’t have to be anyone but yourself.

I'm ready!

WHATEVER YOU’RE GOING THROUGH,
WE’VE GOT YOU.

Here for all of
life’s challenges

Modalities

Every human is unique in their needs and the therapeutic approach that works best for them. We draw from several different modalities of therapy and, upon meeting with you, can tailor the approach that best fits your 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.
