Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps you identify and change patterns of behaviour and thinking that can maintain or worsen distress.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy used to assist people with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other trauma conditions to process difficult memories.

Schema Therapy
Schema Therapy sheds light on the origins of your struggles and helps you find a path out of them—typically used when other approaches have not been effective.
-
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy

How we work with you at Aperture Psychology
We understand that the idea of therapy can feel daunting—especially if you’ve never tried it before.
Here’s what to expect when you work with us
-
This initial assessment is usually carried out over two sessions where we gather the necessary information to construct an initial understanding of the problem and outline the treatment process.
By the end of your first session, you’ll have a clearer sense of the problem at hand and a preliminary view of the steps ahead. The second session focuses on refining this understanding through a comprehensive formulation as we explore the factors contributing to your challenges.
-
Based on the outcomes of your assessment, we create a tailored treatment plan to address your specific needs.
-
Therapy typically begins with weekly sessions (lasting 50 minutes), with the option to transition to fortnightly or monthly as progress is made. The length and frequency of treatment depends on the complexity of the problem, but most clients demonstrate measurable progress within 6 to 10 sessions.
-
We adapt your treatment to your evolving needs and keep track of your goals through standardised psychological questionnaires, a comprehensive clinical assessment, and self-reports.
-
After the active treatment phase, we continue to support you by collaborating with relevant stakeholders—whether it's your school, university, workplace, or other healthcare professionals—to help prevent setbacks. Additionally, we provide you with a range of educational resources to support your ongoing progress.
