Therapies
CBT
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
CBT is one of the most widely researched and used therapeutic approaches, based on the idea that thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are all connected, and that shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours can improve how a person feels. It's typically structured and goal-focused, often involving identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them against evidence, and building new behavioural habits.
Who it may be suitable for: Children, teens, and adults experiencing anxiety, low mood, worry, or specific fears, particularly those who respond well to a structured, skills-based approach and want practical tools they can apply between sessions.
What it can help with: Anxiety, depression, phobias, panic, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and unhelpful thinking habits such as catastrophising or all-or-nothing thinking.
How it's different: CBT is often the first approach people try, and for many it's a helpful entry point into therapy. It tends to work best for people who find it useful to examine and challenge their thoughts directly. Where it can fall short is for people whose difficulties are more rooted in trauma, deep-seated relational patterns, or feelings that don't respond well to logical reframing, which is where approaches like EMDR or IFS can pick up where CBT leaves off.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
EMDR is a structured, evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process memories and experiences that got "stuck," often because they happened during a moment of overwhelm, fear, or helplessness. Using bilateral stimulation (guided eye movements, tapping, or sounds) while gently revisiting a difficult memory, EMDR helps the nervous system finish processing what it couldn't process at the time, so the memory loses its emotional charge and stops driving present-day reactions.
Who it may be suitable for: Children, teens, and adults who have experienced a specific distressing event (for example: an accident, workplace distress, situational worries, medical trauma, bullying, a loss, a difficult birth) or ongoing/relational trauma, as well as those with anxiety, phobias, or big reactions that seem disproportionate to what's happening now.
What it can help with: Post-traumatic stress, flashbacks and intrusive memories, phobias, panic, grief that feels "frozen," body-based anxiety symptoms, and reactivity that has felt hard to shift through talking alone.
How it's different: Traditional talk therapy asks a person to explain, analyse, and make sense of what happened, which can help but often leaves the emotional and body-level charge intact. EMDR doesn't require someone to talk through every detail of the event in depth, and it isn't about "thinking differently" about the memory. Instead, it works with how the brain and nervous system store the experience, which is why people often notice the memory feels different, calmer, more distant, less "alive," even when they can't fully explain why.
IFS
Internal Family Systems
IFS is a compassionate, non-pathologising approach that sees the mind as made up of different "parts": protective parts that keep us safe (through control, avoidance, perfectionism, anger, people-pleasing, and so on) and more vulnerable, younger parts that carry pain, fear, or shame. IFS helps a person get to know these parts with curiosity rather than judgement, understand what each one is trying to do for them, and build a relationship with their core Self, which is calm, curious, and compassionate, and can lead and heal from within.
Who it may be suitable for: Adults, parents, teens, and (in adapted, developmentally appropriate ways) children who struggle with self-criticism, shame, people-pleasing, anger outbursts, anxiety, perfectionism, or a sense of being "at war with themselves." It's also well suited to those who have found other approaches too intellectual or who feel like they "understand" their patterns but can't shift them.
What it can help with: Anxiety, low self-worth, shame, difficulty with emotional regulation, relationship patterns, trauma responses, inner conflict, and the aftermath of growing up needing to manage or hide parts of oneself to stay safe or loved.
How it's different: Many approaches try to challenge unhelpful thoughts or eliminate unwanted behaviours directly. IFS takes the opposite stance: every part, even the most frustrating or self-sabotaging one, is trying to help in its own way, so the work isn't to get rid of parts but to understand and unburden them. This tends to feel less like a battle with oneself and more like an internal reconciliation, which is often why people describe it as a relief compared to approaches that felt like they were fighting themselves.
PCIT
Parent Child Interaction Therapy
PCIT was developed in the 1970s by clinical psychologist Sheila Eyberg, who combined attachment theory and social learning theory into a single, live-coached model for parents and young children. In its traditional form, a therapist observes parent and child playing or completing tasks together (often through a one-way mirror or video link) and coaches the parent in real time, through an earpiece, on specific skills that strengthen the relationship and improve behaviour. It's one of the most rigorously researched parent-child interventions available, with decades of outcome data behind it.
While PCIT was originally designed as an in-clinic, one-way-mirror model, it has since been adapted for telehealth, with coaching delivered live over video call while the parent and child interact at home, for teacher-child interactions in early learning and school settings, and for home visit sessions, where coaching happens in the family's own environment rather than a clinic room. These adaptations mean families can access the same coached, skills-based approach in the setting that suits them best.
Who it may be suitable for: Families with children roughly aged 2 to 7 (but can also be adapted with older children/early teens with the addition of collaborative problem solving approaches) who are experiencing behavioural difficulties and frequent expressions of distress, power struggles, aggression, or difficulty cooperating with instructions, as well as families wanting to strengthen connection and confidence in their parenting before difficulties escalate.
What it can help with: Tantrums and meltdowns, non-cooperation, aggression, difficulty with transitions and routines, and parent-child relationships that have become strained or conflict-heavy.
How it's different: Many parenting approaches are taught in a classroom-style format or through take-home strategies the parent then tries alone. PCIT is coached live, modelled in the moment, so parents get real-time feedback and support while they're actually with their child, rather than trying to recall and apply a strategy later under pressure. This live coaching format, plus the flexibility to now deliver it via telehealth or in the home, tends to make the skills feel more natural, generalisable, and easier to sustain day to day.
COS
Circle of Security
Circle of Security is an attachment-based approach for parents and caregivers that maps out what children need to feel secure: a "secure base" to explore from and a "safe haven" to return to when they're distressed. Rather than offering behaviour scripts, COS helps caregivers understand what's happening underneath a child's behaviour, notice their own reactions and triggers, and respond in ways that build lasting security and emotional regulation.
Who it may be suitable for: Parents and caregivers of infants, toddlers, and children (including neurodivergent children) who want to strengthen the parent-child relationship, are navigating big emotions or behaviours they don't understand, or who find themselves repeating patterns from their own upbringing that they'd like to shift.
What it can help with: Difficulty with separations, meltdowns and dysregulation, defiance, clinginess or avoidance, attachment ruptures (e.g. after a difficult period, separation, or NICU stay), and parents' own frustration, guilt, or feeling "triggered" by their child's behaviour.
How it's different: Many parenting programs focus on managing behaviour through consequences, rewards, or techniques for the moment a child is dysregulated. COS instead works on the relationship underneath the behaviour, helping parents understand what their child's behaviour is communicating and building the parent's own capacity to stay calm and connected under pressure. Parents often find it addresses the "why" that behaviour-only strategies miss, and it tends to create change that holds up even in situations no script could have covered.
ACT
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
ACT is a values-based approach that focuses less on eliminating difficult thoughts and feelings and more on changing a person's relationship to them. Rather than arguing with or trying to control anxious or painful thoughts, ACT helps people notice them with more distance, accept what can't be controlled, and commit to actions that align with what matters most to them.
Who it may be suitable for: Children, teens and adults dealing with chronic anxiety, stress, or difficult emotions that haven't shifted much through thought-challenging alone, as well as those who feel stuck, avoidant, or disconnected from what matters to them.
What it can help with: Anxiety, stress, avoidance behaviours, difficulty tolerating uncertainty or discomfort, and a sense of feeling stuck or disconnected from meaningful goals and values.
How it's different: Where CBT often works by challenging or restructuring unhelpful thoughts, ACT takes a different stance: some thoughts and feelings don't need to be changed or fixed, they need to be held more lightly so they stop getting in the way of a meaningful life. For people who've found that trying to "argue themselves out of" anxious thoughts hasn't worked, or has even made things feel worse, ACT often offers a welcome shift in approach.
ERP
Exposure and Response Prevention
ERP is an evidence-based approach primarily used for OCD and anxiety-related conditions where avoidance and safety behaviours have taken hold. It works by gradually and deliberately facing feared thoughts, situations, or triggers (exposure), while resisting the urge to perform the compulsion, avoidance, or safety behaviour that usually follows (response prevention). Over repeated practice, the brain learns that the feared outcome doesn't happen, or that the anxiety itself is tolerable and passes, which weakens the grip of the obsession-compulsion cycle.
Who it may be suitable for: Children, teens, and adults with OCD, specific phobias, health anxiety, and other anxiety presentations where avoidance or compulsive behaviours (checking, reassurance-seeking, washing, avoidance of places or objects) have become part of the pattern.
What it can help with: Obsessive-compulsive patterns, intrusive thoughts, phobias, health anxiety, reassurance-seeking, and avoidance behaviours that have grown to limit daily life.
How it's different: General anxiety management or thought-based approaches can help someone understand or reframe their anxious thoughts, but for OCD and compulsive patterns, this often isn't enough on its own, and can sometimes reinforce the cycle if it turns into another form of reassurance-seeking. ERP works differently: it doesn't try to talk someone out of the fear, it helps them build direct, lived evidence that they can face the trigger and tolerate the anxiety without doing the compulsion. This is why ERP is considered a frontline, specialised treatment for OCD specifically, rather than a general anxiety tool.
DBT
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy ( level 1 & 2)
DBT was originally developed for people experiencing intense, hard-to-manage emotions and was created for chronic suicidality and borderline personality disorder, though it's now used far more broadly. It combines acceptance-based strategies (validating that emotions and reactions make sense given someone's history) with change-based, skills-focused strategies across four areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. The "dialectical" part reflects the core idea that a person can be doing their best and still need to do better or differently, both things are true at once.
Who it may be suitable for: Teens and adults experiencing intense or rapidly shifting emotions, difficulty tolerating distress, self-harm or suicidal thoughts, impulsive behaviours, or relationship patterns marked by conflict, fear of abandonment, or difficulty maintaining stability.
What it can help with: Emotional dysregulation, self-harm, impulsivity, chronic conflict in relationships, difficulty tolerating distress without acting on it, and patterns of intense reactivity that other approaches haven't been able to shift.
How it's different: Many approaches focus either on accepting difficult emotions or on changing behaviour, but not always both at once. DBT holds these together deliberately, validating that a person's reactions make sense given what they've been through, while also teaching concrete, practical skills to manage emotions and relationships differently going forward. For people who've felt like other therapies were "too soft" or "too demanding," DBT's structured skills base combined with acceptance often lands differently.
Not sure which approach is right for you?
With so many therapeutic approaches available, it's completely normal to feel unsure about where to start. You don't need to work this out on your own. My approach is individualised: during an initial session, we'll take the time to understand what you or your child are experiencing and recommend the approach, or combination of approaches, best suited to your needs, and we'll continue to shift and adapt between approaches over the course of therapy based on how you respond. Get in touch to book an appointment or ask a question, and if I'm not the right fit, I'll be more than happy to help you find the one.
