Remote care and therapeutic approaches

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing is offered for those working to process distressing memories, using guided techniques intended to support trauma-focused work.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy elements are available to build emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance skills.

Sessions are provided via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different communication preferences.
