How therapy may work

Therapy Approaches at Breathe-n-Smile Psychology

Therapy is guided by your goals, history, current context and what feels workable. An approach is selected collaboratively and may be adapted as therapy develops.

EMDR and ACT are core approaches at Breathe-n-Smile Psychology. Therapy may also draw on trauma-informed CBT, EFT, Schema Therapy and mindfulness-informed strategies where appropriate.
