Services Provided by Lawrence & Co Psychology

At our practice, we deliver comprehensive mental health support through qualified psychologists who specialise in evidence-based therapeutic approaches. Our commitment is to provide individualised care within a welcoming, judgment-free space that promotes healing and personal growth.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

CBT stands as one of the most thoroughly researched psychological interventions available. This methodology examines interconnections between cognitions, emotions, and actions, supporting identification and modification of problematic patterns.

 

CBT strategies encompass:

  • Recognition and restructuring of maladaptive thought patterns

  • Behavioural activation and structured activity planning

  • Systematic problem-solving and adaptive coping development

  • Progressive relaxation and anxiety management techniques

  • Between-session practice assignments for skill consolidation

 

This approach demonstrates particular strength for anxiety, depression, and trauma recovery, with extensive research confirming effectiveness across varied populations.

Mindfulness-Based Therapeutic Interventions

Mindfulness cultivation involves developing present-moment attention and learning non-judgmental awareness of internal experiences. These evidence-supported practices effectively reduce stress and enhance emotional self-regulation.

 

Our mindfulness methods include:

  • Guided meditation and conscious breathing practices

  • Somatic awareness and mindful movement exercises

  • Acceptance-based and non-reactive observation skills

  • Stress reduction protocols and daily applications

  • Home-based mindfulness practices for ongoing benefit

 

Clinical research consistently validates mindfulness effectiveness across numerous mental health presentations.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

DBT represents a skills-focused approach emphasising emotional regulation and relationship effectiveness. Initially created for individuals experiencing emotional intensity, these practical skills benefit anyone facing emotional management or interpersonal challenges.

 

DBT encompasses four essential skill areas:

  • Mindfulness and present-moment engagement

  • Emotion regulation and trigger identification

  • Distress tolerance for crisis management

  • Interpersonal effectiveness and assertive communication

  • Self-soothing and grounding practices

 

This therapy prioritises real-world skill application in challenging situations.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT promotes psychological flexibility – the capacity to remain present with difficult experiences while pursuing value-based actions. Rather than eliminating distressing emotions, ACT transforms your relationship with internal experiences.

 

ACT emphasises:

  • Core value identification and meaning clarification

  • Acceptance of challenging thoughts and feelings

  • Mindfulness cultivation and present-moment connection

  • Value-driven goal pursuit and behaviour change

  • Psychological flexibility development during adversity

  •  

This approach demonstrates moderate effectiveness across various conditions and particularly benefits those seeking authentic living.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

IFS offers an innovative framework recognising that we possess various personality aspects that may conflict internally. This therapy facilitates curious and compassionate exploration of different self-parts.

 

Essential IFS components include:

  • Internal part identification and role understanding

  • Self-compassion and empathy development

  • Healing of wounded or protective aspects

  • Harmonious self-integration

  • Enhanced self-leadership capacity

 

IFS proves particularly valuable for trauma recovery, relationship enhancement, and personal development.
