Psychotherapy
This is a psychological treatment which helps with a range of mental health conditions and emotional challenges. Psychotherapy uses varied psychotherapeutic approaches which can be combined to fit a client’s specific needs.
For example, our psychotherapists may integrate cognitive Behavioural Therapy with Person Centred, as a way of combing the benefits of both approaches.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
This is a psychotherapeutic approach that identifies and directly addresses
dysfunctional thoughts, behaviours and emotions. CBT does this by using a range of direct techniques, which allows the client and therapist to identify and change unhelpful patterns of thoughts and behaviours.
Person Centred Therapy
This is a non-directive psychotherapeutic approach which focuses on a client’s unique thoughts, feelings and experiences. The approach places emphasis on the belief that the client has the ability to find solutions to their own problems by self-exploration. The therapist facilitates this by providing a safe and non-judgemental environment, where the client can do this freely.
Psychodynamic Therapy
This Psychodynamic approach focusses on the internal and unconscious thoughts a client may be largely unaware of. These thoughts may drive unhelpful emotions and behaviours. By working through conscious or unconscious thoughts, negative emotions or behaviours can be targeted and alleviated.
Group Therapy
A Psychotherapeutic approach in which clients meet as a group to discuss issues as a way of relating or hearing about one another’s experiences. This benefits clients by building trust with others, where issues can be spoken about openly. Clients often feel less alone and more understood when relating to other clients. A group therapist’s way of working in terms of their therapeutic approach may vary.
Couples Therapy
A Psychological talking therapy which aims to explore relationship issues and work on ways in which partners interact with one another. The therapist facilities discussions as a way of navigating conflict but resolving issues between partners directly in a calmer mediated environment. This allows both clients to be heard. A couple’s therapist’s way of working in terms of their therapeutic approach may vary.
Hypnotherapy
A Psychotherapeutic approach in which clients meet as a group to discuss issues as a way of relating or hearing about one another’s experiences. This benefits clients by building trust with others, where issues can be spoken about openly. Clients often feel less alone and more understood when relating to other clients. A group therapist’s way of working in terms of their therapeutic approach may vary.
Family Counselling
A Psychological approach that focusses on the improvement of relationships between family members. The therapist facilities discussions as a way of navigating any potential conflict by resolving issues between family members directly in a mediated environment. This can also treat specific mental health issues such as PTSD, behavioural issues, addictions and much more. A family therapist’s way of working in terms of their therapeutic approach may vary.
