At West Psychological Services, we are committed to helping people from all backgrounds improve their mental health and emotional wellbeing. Our experienced therapists support individuals facing a range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and complex personality concerns.
Online therapy tailored to you
We recognise that seeking help is a significant step, and we strive to make the process as welcoming and supportive as possible. Our therapy services are confidential, compassionate, and tailored to your individual needs.
Our range of therapeutic approaches
We offer a wide variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). However, this intervention is adapted for people who feel emotions very intensely. DBT aims to help you understand, accept and cope with your emotions.
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) is a therapeutic approach that aims to help those who experience shame and self-criticism, which may result from past trauma. CFT aims to help you develop skills of compassion to others to support improvements in mood and relational problems.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a type of cognitive behavioural therapy that has been shown to be beneficial in reducing symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder such as intrusive thoughts/memories, intense emotions and negative cognitions such as self-blame. CPT lasts between 12-20 sessions, and most people see a reduction in symptoms within 12 sessions. CPT helps individuals learn how to challenge and modify beliefs related to the trauma, which can impact recovery. This can help an individual to process and integrate traumatic experiences
Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR)
Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy for treating trauma symptoms. It is recognised by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and the World Health Organisation (WHO) as a treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. EMDR can also be used to help with a range of presenting problems such as anxiety, depression, addictions, and relational issues.
Your therapy will be personalised, drawing on the approaches most suited to your circumstances and preferences, to ensure you receive effective, meaningful support.
Your initial online therapy session
During your initial online therapy session, we will discuss your concerns, explore your goals, and work collaboratively to create a therapy plan that fits your needs. Our aim is to provide a safe and understanding environment where you can talk openly, gain insight, and develop practical strategies for managing life’s challenges.
Whether you are experiencing emotional distress, relationship issues, or simply wish to enhance your overall wellbeing, West Psychological Services is here to support you every step of the way.
