Evidence-Based Approaches Supporting You From Session One
Personalised treatment, grounded in research and clinical experience, is key to working towards positive outcomes in therapy. We use a range of methods and techniques tailored to your needs, preferences, and goals.
Schema Therapy
Schema therapy brings together cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) with psychodynamic and attachment approaches. This aims to help you understand the way you engage, how you view yourself, and how to alter longstanding patterns.
EMDR Therapy
Coping with past traumas may require reprocessing certain memories to decrease their impact on you. EMDR therapy aims to support you as you work through this.
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
Cognitive behavioural therapy is a form of treatment designed to help you recognise unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours, then develop more constructive ways to respond to everyday situations.
Neurodiversity Affirming Framework
A neurodiversity affirming framework recognises and respects different ways of thinking, feeling, communicating, and experiencing the world, aiming to support self-understanding while honouring your individual needs.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) aims to equip you with practical skills to help you cope with overwhelming emotions, potentially improving your emotional well-being and relationships.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) supports you in relating differently to difficult thoughts and feelings, while building skills to take meaningful action in line with your values.
Animal Assisted Therapy
Therapy that shifts its focus has the potential for countless benefits. Our therapy dog, Poppy, works alongside Chloe to create a soothing, safe environment, if you would like her to be part of your session.
Experienced Psychologists May Help Your Child
Our child psychologists are experienced and skilled in working with young people. We offer our services to children over the age of six in an effort to support them in expressing themselves and navigating the world around them.

Our Team
Alina Shushkevich is a Clinical Psychologist who practises with a person-centred approach as her guiding principle. Her style is dynamic, taking guidance from clients on how they want their treatment and sessions to be structured. She works collaboratively to understand each individual’s unique concerns and therapy goals.
The initial focus of therapy with Alina is to build insight and help clients understand the unhelpful patterns affecting their daily lives and contributing to emotional, behavioural, and relationship challenges.
Drawing on this understanding, she supports clients in developing practical skills to manage difficulties and enhance psychological wellbeing.
