Counselling Modalities at Peninsula Psychology Services
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is one of the most widely researched and effective psychological treatments for anxiety, depression, stress, phobias and many other mental health concerns. CBT is based on the understanding that the way we think about situations influences how we feel and how we respond.
During therapy, we’ll work together to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours that may be keeping you stuck. You’ll learn practical strategies to challenge negative thoughts, regulate emotions, solve problems and build healthier habits.
CBT is a structured, goal-focused approach that equips you with practical skills you can continue using long after therapy has finished.
CBT may help with:
- Anxiety and panic attacks
- Depression and low mood
- Stress and burnout
- Social anxiety
- Obsessive thoughts
- Health anxiety
- Insomnia
- Building confidence and resilience
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Learn to stop struggling with difficult thoughts and start living according to what matters most.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people develop psychological flexibility—the ability to cope with life’s challenges while continuing to move towards a meaningful and fulfilling life.
Rather than trying to eliminate uncomfortable thoughts or emotions, ACT teaches you how to change your relationship with them. You’ll learn mindfulness skills, develop self-compassion, clarify your personal values, and take practical steps towards the life you want.
ACT recognises that painful thoughts and emotions are a normal part of being human. Instead of getting caught in them, you’ll learn how to make room for them without letting them control your decisions.
ACT is commonly used for:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Chronic stress
- Chronic pain and health conditions
- Grief and loss
- Workplace stress
- Perfectionism
- Life transitions
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
Develop a kinder relationship with yourself and reduce the impact of shame and self-criticism.
Many people struggle with an inner critic that leaves them feeling not good enough, guilty or ashamed. Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) is designed to help people replace harsh self-judgement with greater self-understanding, emotional balance and self-compassion.
Drawing on psychology, neuroscience and mindfulness, CFT helps regulate the brain’s threat system while strengthening feelings of safety, confidence and emotional resilience.
If you’ve experienced trauma, difficult relationships, bullying, or have always been hard on yourself, CFT can help you develop a healthier and more supportive way of relating to yourself.
Rather than simply “thinking positively,” CFT helps you build genuine self-compassion and emotional strength.
CFT may be particularly helpful for:
- Low self-esteem
- Shame
- Self-criticism
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Trauma recovery
- Perfectionism
- Emotional regulation difficulties
