CBT focuses on identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviours that contribute to emotional distress. It aims to develop healthier coping strategies and promote positive change.
This approach explores how unconscious thoughts and past experiences shape present behaviours and emotions. It delves into unresolved conflicts and aims to foster insight and self-awareness.
Humanistic approaches, such as Person-Centred Therapy, emphasise the importance of empathy, unconditional positive regards and genuineness in the therapeutic relationship. The focus is on self-exploration, personal growth and self-actualisation.
This approach concentrates on identifying and building solutions rather than dwelling on problems. It is future-oriented and emphasises setting goals, utilising strengths and finding practical solutions.
Gestalt Therapy focuses on increasing self-awareness and understanding by exploring present experiences and relationships. It emphasises personal responsibility, integration of thoughts and feelings and promoting authentic and meaningful living.
Narrative therapy involves exploring and reshaping the stories we tell about ourselves and our experiences. It focuses on understanding how narratives shape our identity and empowering individuals to rewrite their stories in more positive and empowering ways.
Mindfulness-based approaches, such as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), involve cultivation of present-moment awareness, acceptance and non-judgement. These approaches can help individuals develop resilience, reduce stress, and enhance overall well being.
Together, we will awaken the beauty within and embark on an extraordinary path of self-discovery.
