Cognitive behavioral therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured and goal-oriented form of treatment that helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. Through practical tools and exercises, clients learn to manage stress, regulate emotions, and develop new strategies for coping in everyday life.

CBT is particularly useful for neurodevelopmental differences, where it can support greater self-understanding and provide concrete skills to meet challenges.

Dialectical behavior therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) builds on the principles of CBT but places greater emphasis on acceptance, balance, and skills for emotional regulation. DBT provides tools to manage intense emotions, develop practical self-help strategies, and strengthen relationships.

DBT is particularly effective for individuals struggling with emotional instability or in need of clear strategies for everyday life.

Trauma-Focused CBT and Prolonged exposure therapy

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE) Therapy build on cognitive-behavioral principles but place greater emphasis on processing traumatic memories and gradual desensitization. These therapies provide structured protocols to reduce avoidance behaviors, restructure trauma-related cognitions, and regulate physiological arousal. 

This approach is particularly effective for individuals meeting criteria for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or those requiring focused intervention to alleviate trauma symptoms.

Self‑development and growth

Self-development and growth work is about exploring your own resources and opportunities to create change in life. Through therapeutic conversations, clients receive support to strengthen self-insight, build new skills, and develop strategies that promote personal and emotional balance.

The goal is to provide tools that make it easier to live more authentically, handle challenges, and experience greater quality of life.
