Key Therapies in Our Evidence-Based Approach
Somatic Practices · Reconnecting Mind and Body
Somatic therapy helps participants bridge the gap between emotional and physical experiences. Techniques like grounding exercises and body scans promote awareness, releasing trauma stored in the body and reducing physical manifestations of stress.
Psychodynamic Therapy: Understanding the “Why”
Psychodynamic therapy explores the unconscious patterns driving disordered behaviours. By uncovering and addressing the root causes of emotional pain, participants gain insight and develop healthier coping strategies.
EFT · Releasing Emotional Blocks & releasing trauma
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) is a cornerstone of our approach, helping participants process and release difficult emotions. Through tapping techniques, EFT reduces cortisol levels, calms the nervous system, and allows participants to reframe negative thought patterns.
Participants in our pilot program who engaged with EFT reported a 22% reduction in anxiety levels and significant improvement in emotional regulation within six weeks.
Tools for Tracking Progress and Deepening Insight
Progress Tracking: Measurable Growth
With tools like Mind Data, participants track their emotional and behavioural patterns over time. This quantitative feedback provides actionable insights, allowing participants and therapists to adapt care plans for optimal results.
Journaling: A Journey of Self-Reflection
Journaling creates a safe space for participants to explore their thoughts and feelings. Guided prompts help uncover hidden emotions, celebrate progress, and clarify recovery goals, deepening the connection between action and insight.
Personalised Daily Support
Daily WhatsApp check-ins ensure participants feel supported between sessions. These personalised messages offer encouragement, reminders, and gentle accountability tailored to each individual’s journey.
