Psychotherapy

Evidence-Based Psychotherapy for Children, Adolescents, Adults, Couples and Families

Life can be challenging.

At different points in our lives, we may experience anxiety, stress, depression, burnout, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, significant life transitions, or a sense of feeling overwhelmed and stuck.

Psychotherapy provides a confidential space to better understand yourself, navigate life’s challenges, and develop new ways of responding to difficult thoughts, emotions, and situations.

At ABA Clinic, we provide evidence-based psychotherapy tailored to the unique needs of each individual. Our goal is not only to help reduce distress, but also to support lasting personal growth, emotional wellbeing, resilience, and meaningful change.

Areas We Commonly Support

We work with clients experiencing:

  • Anxiety and excessive worry
  • Depression and low mood
  • Stress and burnout
  • Emotional regulation difficulties

Every individual is different. Therapy is always tailored to your goals, strengths, circumstances, and needs.

How We Work?

We believe that effective psychotherapy should be personalised rather than limited to a single therapeutic model.

Our clinicians draw from evidence-based approaches that are adapted to each individual’s unique needs.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps individuals develop psychological flexibility and learn how to respond more effectively to difficult thoughts and emotions. Rather than struggling to eliminate uncomfortable internal experiences, ACT focuses on helping people build a rich and meaningful life guided by their values. ACT has been shown to be effective for a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, stress, chronic health conditions, and emotional regulation challenges.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is one of the most extensively researched psychological treatments. CBT helps individuals understand the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Through therapy, clients learn practical strategies to identify unhelpful patterns and develop more effective ways of responding to challenges. CBT can be particularly effective for anxiety disorders, depression, stress-related difficulties, and many everyday emotional challenges.

Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA)

Applied Behaviour Analysis is the scientific study of behaviour and learning. Modern behavioural approaches focus on understanding the factors that influence behaviour and applying evidence-based strategies to develop meaningful skills, increase independence, improve emotional regulation, and support lasting behavioural change. Behavioural principles can be particularly valuable when supporting children, adolescents, parents, and individuals experiencing challenges related to executive functioning, routines, habits, social skills, adaptive functioning, and daily living. At ABA Clinic, behavioural approaches are integrated thoughtfully and collaboratively, always with the goal of improving quality of life and supporting meaningful outcomes for each individual.

A Collaborative and Individualised Approach

We do not believe in one-size-fits-all therapy.

Effective psychotherapy begins with understanding the unique experiences, strengths, values, and goals of each person.

Our therapists work collaboratively with clients to develop practical strategies, deepen self-understanding, and create meaningful change that extends beyond the therapy room.

Flexible Therapy Options

Sessions are available:
  • In person
  • Online
