Evidence-Based Approaches That Support You From Your First Session
Personalised treatment based on research and clinical experience plays an important role in working towards positive outcomes in therapy. We draw on a range of methods and techniques tailored to your needs, preferences, and goals.
Schema Therapy
Schema therapy combines cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) with psychodynamic and attachment approaches, aiming to help you understand the way you engage, how you view yourself, and how to shift well-established patterns.
EMDR Therapy
Coping with past traumas may require reprocessing certain memories in an effort to lessen their impact on you. EMDR therapy aims to support you through this process.
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
Cognitive behavioural therapy is a form of treatment that aims to help you identify 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. This approach aims to support self-understanding while honouring your individual needs.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) aims to provide you with practical skills to support you in coping with overwhelming emotions, potentially improving your emotional well-being and relationships.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) supports you to relate 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 a range of benefits. Our therapy dog, Poppy, works alongside Chloe to provide a soothing, safe environment if you would like her to be part of your session.

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.
