Behavioural & Emotional Regulation Therapy

Feeling overwhelmed by intense emotions or struggling with impulsive behaviours can be isolating and distressing. This therapy service helps individuals, particularly children, teens, and young adults, understand and manage their emotional responses and actions. We explore the triggers and functions of certain behaviours, developing strategies to respond to life’s challenges in more mindful and effective ways.

The focus is on building awareness of the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and developing a practical toolkit for self-regulation. This leads to improved relationships, better decision-making, and a greater sense of personal agency and calm.

Frequently asked questions

(01) Is this therapy only for people with a specific diagnosis like ADHD?

No, this therapy can benefit anyone who struggles with managing intense emotions like anger, frustration, or sadness, or who engages in impulsive behaviours, regardless of whether they have a formal diagnosis.

(02) How do you work with children on emotional regulation?

I use age-appropriate methods like games, role-play, and visual aids (e.g., emotion thermometers) to help children identify their feelings and practice calming techniques like deep breathing or using a sensory tool.

(03) What is the goal of this therapy?

The goal is not to eliminate emotions but to understand them and learn how to express them in a healthy, adaptive way. It's about moving from reactive responses to thoughtful, chosen responses.

(04) Can this help with anger management?

Yes, absolutely. A large part of emotional regulation involves understanding the triggers and underlying feelings behind anger (e.g., hurt, fear) and developing strategies to express it constructively rather than explosively.

(05) What does a typical session involve?

Sessions involve talking about recent challenges, learning about the science of emotions, practicing grounding and mindfulness techniques, and role-playing difficult situations to build new, more effective response pathways.
