Integrated Approaches
Many Autimly therapists draw from more than one approach, using methods like cognitive, relational, creative, sensory, or mindfulness-based work to build therapy that fits you.
Integrated therapy focuses on connection, safety, and what’s most helpful in the moment, whether that’s understanding patterns, building regulation skills, exploring identity, or finding calm after overwhelming.
Core Therapeutic Approaches
Adapted CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)
Concrete, step-by-step tools for understanding thoughts, feelings, and actions, tailored for literal thinking, slower processing, and real-life application.
DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy)
Skill-building for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and self-acceptance.
ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy)
Mindfulness and values-led strategies to reduce struggle with difficult thoughts and build psychological flexibility.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing)
Carefully adapted trauma processing for past experiences, sensory overwhelm, and persistent distress.
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)
Reduces shame and self-criticism; builds emotional safety and self-kindness — helpful after years of feeling misunderstood.
Relational / Humanistic Therapy
A supportive, attuned space to explore identity, emotions, and relationships at your own pace.
Mindfulness-Based Approaches (e.g., MBCT/MBSR)
Brief, structured practices to lower stress and anxiety; adapted for attention differences and sensory needs.
Play-Based & Creative Therapies
For children and teens who communicate through play, drawing, music, or story with gentle routes to expression and regulation.

Recognises the impact of invalidation, bullying, and system stress; focuses on safety, agency, and choice throughout therapy.

When You Need Medical Support Too
Sometimes therapy works best alongside medical input.
If you’d like to discuss medication, diagnostic insight, or medical guidance, you can book a consultation with a psychiatrist through our Medical Services.
Our psychiatrists work closely with Autimly therapists to ensure your care feels connected.
