Bringing mindfulness to stuck-ness; easing psychological inflexibility to promote wellbeing, resilience and behaviour changes that move you in directions that matter most to you.
At the core of most emotional and psychological problems lies a pattern of psychological inflexibility. Resulting in a narrowing of behavioural repertoires in trigger situations, such patterns are often formed in our early personal history; or as a result of subsequent traumatic life events. Mindfulness offers techniques, practices and ways of being that enhance psychological flexibility thus enabling a person to respond (rather than reacting according to the habitual inflexible pattern) with new behaviours that move them in meaningful and valued directions that they choose for themselves.
Mindfulness can help with: Stress, Anxiety, Depression, Addiction, Anger, Chronic Pain

ACT
Imagine a therapy that makes no attempt to reduce symptoms, but gets symptom reduction as a by-product. A therapy firmly based in the tradition of empirical science, yet has a major emphasis on values, forgiveness, acceptance, compassion, living in the present moment, and accessing a transcendent sense of self. A therapy so hard to classify that it has been described as an “existential humanistic cognitive behavioural therapy".

Compassion focussed therapy
Compassion-focused therapy (CFT) aims to help promote mental and emotional healing by encouraging people in treatment to be compassionate toward themselves and other people. Compassion, both toward the self and toward others, is an emotional response believed by many to be an essential aspect of well-being. Its development may often have the benefit of improved mental and emotional health

CBT
Cognitive behavioural therapy is a short-term, goal-oriented psychotherapy treatment taking a hands-on, practical approach to problem-solving. Its goal is to change patterns of thinking or behaviour that are behind people's difficulties, and so change the way they feel.

Person-centred therapy
Person-centered therapy uses a non-authoritative approach that allows clients to take more of a lead in discussions so that, in the process, they will discover their own solutions. The therapist acts as a compassionate facilitator, listening without judgment and acknowledging the client’s experience without moving the conversation in another direction. The therapist is there to encourage and support the client and to guide the therapeutic process without interrupting or interfering with the client’s process of self-discovery.
