Therapy Approach
Person-Centred Therapy
This approach emphasises your autonomy and personal experience. I prioritise building a trusting relationship, providing unconditional positive regard, and offering empathetic understanding. Together, we will explore your feelings and thoughts, allowing you to gain insights and foster self-acceptance.
Solution-Focused Therapy
In this goal-oriented approach we concentrate on finding solutions rather than dwelling on problems. I will help you identify your strengths and resources, guiding you to envision the future you desire. We will work collaboratively to develop practical strategies that empower you to overcome challenges and achieve
your goals.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT encourages you to embrace your thoughts and feelings rather than avoiding or denying them. By cultivating mindfulness and acceptance, we will work on aligning your actions with your values. This process helps you commit to meaningful changes in your life, enhancing your overall well-being.
Trauma-Informed Practice
Recognising the impact of trauma is crucial in the therapeutic process. I am committed to a trauma-informed approach, which means I will always prioritise your safety, trustworthiness, and empowerment. Together, we will create a supportive environment where you can feel secure in exploring your experiences and emotions. Understanding the effects of trauma helps us navigate your healing journey with care and sensitivity, ensuring that you feel respected and validated.
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
I utilise Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) as an evidence-based approach to help clients address mental health challenges by focusing on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. In structured sessions, I guide clients to identify and challenge negative thought patterns, replacing them with healthier alternatives. Through practical skills like cognitive restructuring and behavioural activation, clients learn to manage anxiety, depression, and stress, fostering resilience and promoting lasting change. CBT is a collaborative process aimed at supporting clients on their journey to improved mental well-being and effective coping strategies.
