BRIEF STRATEGIC INTERVENTIONS explained
EMDR - Getting past your trauma
EMDR is a psychological therapy, recognised by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) in 2005 as an effective treatment for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). It was originally used with great effect on veterans of the Vietnam War. This therapy is now used for many types of anxiety disorders where past events are still disturbing the client. Occasionally, unprocessed emotionally charged information can get ‘stuck‘, resulting in flashbacks, intrusive thoughts and nightmares and negative thinking. EMDR therapy helps reprocess traumatic memories through bi-lateral stimulation of the brain. This can be done with repeated left-right movements of the eyes or the body.
EFT - Emotional Freedom Technique - Take control of your stress & anxiety
EFT - This method of therapy combines mind and body medicine with acupressure techniques. It is based on new discoveries related to the connection between the body’s subtle energies, emotions and health. The client follows a series of tapping movements on different energy points/meridians around the body with the fingers, helping to release stuck energy and rebalance the body’s health, emotions and physical problems. This is accompanied by some talking therapy.
EFT can be used independently or in conjunction with hypnotherapy techniques. Like EMDR, EFT has been shown to be very effective with people suffering from trauma, anxiety, stress and phobias.
NLP - Neuro Linguistic Processing - Reprogramme your mind
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) therapy is an approach to communication, personal development, and psychotherapy that focuses on how language (linguistic) and thought patterns (neurology) influence behaviors and emotions. It was developed in the 1970s by Richard Bandler and John Grinder and is based on the idea that by changing how we think and communicate, we can re-wire our brains, improve our mental well-being and achieve personal goals.
What is NLP Therapy Used For?
NLP therapy is often used to help with:
- Overcoming Limiting Beliefs: Changing negative thought patterns and self-doubt.
- Improving Confidence and Motivation: Boosting self-esteem and achieving goals.
- Managing Anxiety and Stress: Reframing thoughts to reduce fear and stress.
- Breaking Bad Habits and Addictions: Modifying unconscious behaviours.
- Enhancing Communication Skills: Improving relationships and professional interactions.

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy - NHS favourite
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) & Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) are two highly effective, evidence-based approaches used to support mental well-being. CBT focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns, helping individuals develop healthier thinking habits and coping strategies. DBT, originally designed for emotional regulation and distress tolerance, combines mindfulness with practical skills to manage intense emotions. These therapies are widely recommended by the NHS due to their strong research backing and proven success in treating anxiety, depression, and emotional dysregulation. Whether you're looking to break free from negative cycles or build emotional resilience, CBT and DBT offer structured, solution-focused techniques to help you regain control and improve your quality of life
