Why Many People in Belfast Choose Online Therapy

Online therapy can offer:

Mental Health Support We Offer
Our Clinical Psychologists support people experiencing a broad range of emotional and psychological difficulties.
Anxiety, Stress and Burnout
People often seek support initially for anxiety or stress, but therapy may uncover longer-standing patterns such as perfectionism, burnout, trauma, self-criticism or difficulties with emotional regulation.
Therapy can help people better understand these patterns and develop healthier ways of coping.
Some people can be unsure whether their difficulties are ‘serious enough’ for therapy. They might have spent a long time coping alone.
Trauma and PTSD
We support people affected by:
- traumatic experiences
- childhood trauma
- PTSD
- complex trauma
- emotionally overwhelming experiences
Trauma can affect relationships, confidence, sleep, emotional wellbeing and everyday functioning long after difficult experiences have ended.
Trauma-focused therapy approaches, including EMDR, may be available where appropriate.
Relationship Difficulties
Relationship difficulties can affect emotional wellbeing, confidence and mental health in significant ways.
Clinical psychologists can help individuals and couples understand recurring relational patterns, communication difficulties, attachment issues and the emotional impact of conflict or disconnection.

We have clinicians experienced in working with children, teenagers and families.
Support may be available for:
- anxiety
- emotional difficulties

Clinical Psychologists are trained in psychological assessment, formulation and a range of evidence-based therapies.
Therapy is tailored to the individual person and their circumstances.
Our approaches may include the below and more:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT can help with anxiety, panic, obsessive thinking, low mood and behavioural patterns that may be maintaining difficulties.
Trauma-focused CBT approaches may also be appropriate for some people, see our page on trauma or contact us today.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR therapy may help people affected by trauma, PTSD and distressing life experiences.
EMDR is an evidence-based therapy approach designed to help the brain process difficult or emotionally overwhelming experiences differently.
Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT)
CAT approaches can help people understand recurring emotional and relationship patterns, particularly where early experiences continue to affect current coping styles or ways of relating.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic therapy explores how earlier life experiences, relationships and unconscious emotional patterns may continue to influence current difficulties, relationships and emotional wellbeing.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT helps people develop psychological flexibility, manage difficult thoughts and emotions differently, and reconnect with personal values and meaningful action.
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
Compassion Focused Therapy may help people struggling with shame, self-criticism, low self-worth or harsh internal self-judgement.
Systemic Therapy
Systemic approaches consider how relationships, family dynamics and wider social systems may influence emotional wellbeing and patterns of coping.
Integrative Therapy
Following the initial assessment, therapy may involve one evidence-based approach or a carefully integrated combination of therapies tailored to your needs.
Clinical psychologists are trained to adapt therapy thoughtfully to the person rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.
