Individual Therapy

Current therapy at Reconnect Centre is informed by Experiential Dynamic Therapy (EDT), an emotion-focused model that helps client’s access and work through core emotional experiences. EDT evolved from Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) and integrates emotional awareness, body-based insight, and relational depth.

This approach supports deeper self-understanding and lasting change b helping clients gently identify and shift emotional patterns that may be keeping them stuck.

By becoming more aware of what you’re feeling – and learning to respond to those feelings with compassion and clarity – therapy can support meaningful, lasting change.

While EDT informs much of the work current offered, therapy may also include elements of other evidence-based models – such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – when clinically appropriate. We aim to offer care that is flexible and responsive to the needs of each individual.

The first appointment at Reconnect Centre is a trial therapy session – a longer, 90min session designed to provide space for deeper exploration.

This session helps you and your therapist gain insight into what’s contributing to your difficulties, how you respond to the therapeutic process, and whether this approach feels right for you. Many people find this initial session helpful in its own right, whether or not they choose to continue with ongoing therapy.

Reconnect Centre holds a special interest in the emotional experience of chronic pain and trauma. We recognise that these experiences can feel isolating or misunderstood - and we offer a therapeutic space that gently explores the connection between body, emotion, and healing.
