Professional Clinicians include counsellors, cognitive behavioural therapists, clinical and counselling psychologists and psychotherapists. Talk Works offers a range of current, evidence-based therapies provided by highly qualified and experienced members of our clinical team, including therapists in the North East.
Types of therapy
Counselling
Counselling can help you with problems such as relationship issues, bereavement, stress, low self-esteem, abuse or worries. Counselling often explores patterns in the way we relate to other people.
Psychology
Psychologists are trained in a number of models of therapy including CBT. Psychologists work with people who are experiencing a range of mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders and addiction.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a type of talking therapy that focuses on how your thoughts, beliefs and attitudes affect your feelings and behaviour.
Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprogramming (EMDR)
Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprogramming is a highly effective and proven method of psychotherapy which can rapidly allow people to heal from trauma and overcome other distressing and debilitating life experiences such as PTSD.
