CBT helps challenge the way we think and behave through identifying and modifying unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours that arise into more helpful thinking patterns and actions.

Polyvagal therapy looks at how the nervous system impacts regulating emotions, behaviours and social interactions. It can help find new ways to understand how the body responds to stress and trauma and learning self-regulation to improve the individuals well being and resilience.

ACT is working towards accepting thoughts and feelings rather than struggling to control or avoid them, and then commiting to actions that align with their values and where the individual wants to go in life.

Using art in therapy can be anything including colouring, drawing, painting, clay, crafting, music, movement, journalling, poetry, writing, and any other creative outlets. It can be helpful to look through a new lens and see what the client is going through or what they are hoping for in the future. Sometimes explaining something is difficult, and the use of art can allow the explanation to happen before words are found.
