Therapy can help by giving you a safe, structured space to understand what you are feeling, what may be contributing to it, and what needs to change.

Therapy approaches that may help

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

CBT focuses on the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It can help identify unhelpful thinking patterns, make sense of strong emotional reactions,and practice new ways of responding that reduce anxiety, depression, and stress in everyday life.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

DBT was originally developed to help people who experience very intense emotions, self harm, or chronic suicidal thoughts, and it has since been adapted for many concerns where emotion regulation is a challenge.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is a structured, evidence-based therapy that helps people process traumatic or highly distressing experiences so they feel less overwhelming and less “stuck” in the present.
