What types of treatment?

 

Evidence-Based Treatment

The challenges we face in life are completely individual to us. It may sound like a cliche but it’s a fact. That’s why I strongly believe that working with you as a unique individual is paramount. For this reason, as an integrative therapist, I draw from various types of evidence-based psychological therapies when needed, tailored to you and your situation. Ultimately, this increases the opportunity of applying what works best for you.

I’ll try not to be too full of psychobabble jargon. Yet, in order to be transparent and allow you a more informed decision, I generally apply a Cognitive Behavioural framework over a Person-Centred foundation. My training and experience allows me to draw from the modalities listed.

I believe we are all capable of change if we find the right direction, and working in this way allows us more options to achieve success. Not hindered by a set therapy style, whilst remaining focused on your individual situation.

Despite this, I realise therapeutic approaches are probably the last thing on your mind, no doubt there are more important issues you're trying to deal with. To reassure you, it is not like you have to decide, I openly discuss and integrate tools with you in a safe, strategic and seamless process, meaning you don’t even have to think about it!

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

  • Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)

  • Person-Centered Counselling

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

  • Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

  • Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy

  • Transactional Analysis (TA)

  • Psychosynthesis Techniques

  • Motivational Interviewing

Although your issue is the main focus of our work, I highly recommend looking through some of the main approaches below. This will allow some insight to feel more comfortable about what is involved. Learning is also part of the therapeutic process, being more informed now can only benefit our work going forward.

Guidelines for many disorders and issues now point straight to psychological therapy over medication. Backed by mountains of scientific research, evidenced-based techniques and with more and more people achieving positive change everyday, the acceptance and benefits of therapy are endlessly growing.
