Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a talking therapy which explores the interaction between thoughts, feelings and behaviours.

• Setting goals or small steps for change in your thoughts or behaviours (or both)

• Working collaboratively with your psychologist to achieve these goals

• You thinking or doing activities between sessions to help you move forward

• Time limited so focuses on supporting new learning

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about maximising your potential for a more fulfilling life.

• Developing skills to deal more effectively with difficult thoughts and feelings so these have less influence

• Clarifying your values to guide, inspire and motivate you to take action

• Focusing your attention on things important to you and really engaging yourself in whatever you do

Mindfulness has parallels with Buddhist principles but is scientifically based with a need for openness , awareness and focus.

• Letting go of unhelpful thinking patterns

• Acceptance of painful feelings without fighting them

• Staying in the here-and-now
