CBT, EMDR and Mindfulness Therapy Service
Evidence-based, collaborative therapy — tailored to your goals, at your pace.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
What Is CBT?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a warm, practical and evidence-based therapy that helps you understand the connections between your thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and behaviours.
Sometimes when we're struggling, we can find ourselves caught in patterns that keep us feeling stuck. For example, anxious thoughts may lead us to avoid certain situations, which can increase anxiety over time. CBT helps you make sense of these patterns and develop new ways of responding that feel more helpful and empowering.
CBT is a collaborative therapy — we work together as a team. Rather than being told what to do, you'll be supported in exploring your experiences, identifying what's maintaining your difficulties and finding strategies that fit your individual needs and goals.
At its heart, CBT is about helping you better understand yourself, break free from unhelpful cycles and discover new ways of coping so that you can live a fuller and more meaningful life.
What Can CBT Help With?
Recommended by NICE for a wide range of difficulties, including:
- Anxiety and excessive worry
- Panic attacks
- Depression and low mood
- Social anxiety
- Health anxiety
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- Stress and burnout
- Low self-esteem
- Phobias
- Trauma-related difficulties
How Does CBT Differ from Other Therapies?
CBT focuses on the relationships between thoughts, feelings, behaviours and physical sensations in the present. While past experiences may be explored when relevant, the emphasis is often on understanding current difficulties and developing practical strategies for change — an active, collaborative therapy that helps you develop skills you can continue using long after therapy has ended.
Is CBT Right for Me?
CBT can be particularly helpful if you are looking for a structured, practical approach that focuses on developing new skills and strategies for managing difficulties. An initial consultation can help us explore your needs, answer any questions and decide together whether CBT is the right approach for you.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
What Is EMDR?
EMDR is a psychotherapy approach designed to help people process and recover from distressing life experiences, including trauma. Whether trauma stems from a single difficult event or a series of experiences over time, it can leave people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves and others. These experiences may continue to influence emotions, thoughts, beliefs, and reactions long after they have occurred. EMDR supports the brain in reprocessing difficult memories, helping to reduce their emotional impact so they become less distressing and disruptive in everyday life.
EMDR is a collaborative therapy. We work together at a pace that feels safe and manageable, with your goals, strengths and wellbeing at the centre of the process.
How Does EMDR Work?
When we experience something highly stressful or traumatic, the brain's natural processing system can become overwhelmed. As a result, memories, emotions, physical sensations and beliefs connected to the experience may remain "stuck." EMDR uses structured protocols and bilateral stimulation (such as guided eye movements, tapping, or alternating sounds) to help the brain process these memories in a new way. Over time, distress often decreases and people frequently report feeling more grounded, resilient and able to move forward.
Importantly, EMDR does not erase memories. Instead, it helps reduce the emotional intensity associated with them, allowing them to become part of your life story rather than something that continues to feel present and overwhelming.
What Can EMDR Help With?
- Post-traumatic stress and trauma-related difficulties
- Anxiety and panic
- Phobias and fears
- Low self-esteem and negative self-beliefs
- Grief and loss
- Stressful or adverse childhood experiences
- Performance anxiety
- Distressing life events, even when they don't meet the definition of trauma
Together, we can explore whether EMDR may be an appropriate approach for your specific needs and goals.
Is EMDR Right for Me?
Every person's experience is unique. Some people come to EMDR with a clear traumatic event they want to address, while others are struggling with longstanding emotional patterns, anxiety, or negative beliefs about themselves. An initial consultation provides an opportunity for us to discuss your concerns, answer any questions and consider together whether EMDR is likely to be a good fit for you.

Mindfulness-Based Therapies (MBCT & MBCT-L)
What Are Mindfulness-Based Therapies?
Mindfulness-Based Therapies are evidence-based approaches that help people develop greater awareness of their thoughts, emotions and physical sensations. By learning to pay attention to the present moment with curiosity and compassion, it becomes possible to step back from unhelpful patterns and respond to challenges in a more balanced and constructive way.
At Together in Mind, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Life (MBCT-L) is offered in group settings for both businesses and individuals within the community and online.
These structured programmes combine mindfulness practices with psychological understanding to support emotional wellbeing, resilience and personal growth. Whether you are looking to manage stress more effectively, improve wellbeing or develop practical skills for navigating life's challenges, mindfulness-based therapies can provide valuable tools for everyday life.
How Do Mindfulness-Based Therapies Work?
In our busy lives, it is easy to become caught up in automatic patterns of thinking and reacting. Mindfulness helps us recognise these patterns and create space to respond more intentionally. Through guided mindfulness practices, group discussion, reflection and practical exercises, participants learn to:
- Develop greater self-awareness
- Manage stress more effectively
- Respond rather than react to difficult situations
- Build resilience and emotional balance
- Cultivate self-compassion and acceptance
What Can Mindfulness-Based Therapies Help With?
Mindfulness-based approaches can support people experiencing:
- Stress and burnout
- Anxiety and worry
- Low mood and depression
- Difficult life transitions
- A desire for greater wellbeing, balance, and resilience
- Relationship challenges
- Emotional overwhelm
- Work-related pressures
- Reduced confidence and self-criticism
These programmes are suitable both for individuals seeking personal growth and for organisations wishing to support employee wellbeing and psychological health.
MBCT was originally developed to help prevent relapse in depression and has since been shown to benefit a range of emotional difficulties. MBCT-L builds on these foundations, applying mindfulness skills to everyday life and supporting wellbeing, flourishing and personal effectiveness.
