How Psychology Can Help

Psychology consultations are available for people experiencing:

  • Anxiety and depression
  • Trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Grief and loss
  • Mood disorders
  • Personality disorders
  • Significant life changes and transitions

Treatment is tailored to each person’s circumstances, needs and individual goals.

Gail draws on evidence-based psychological therapies, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Schema Therapy and motivational interviewing.

Her approach also incorporates mindfulness-based techniques, somatic approaches and clinical hypnotherapy where appropriate.Treatment is collaborative and considers each patient’s experiences, circumstances and personal goals.
