Therapy Styles.
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story can make all the difference.
Types of Counselling
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) understands that thoughts have an impact on the emotions and physical feelings of an individual, which leads to (sometimes unwanted) actions.
Psychodynamic Therapy aims to understand how unconscious thoughts might be affecting current behaviours and feelings.
Person-centered Therapy (also known as client-centered counselling) focusses on your value as a person, which when given without prejudice, can help an individual to have greater self-awareness and to wholly accept who they are.
Mindfulness is a technique used to gain greater awareness of one's emotions and improve general well-being.
Creative Therapy uses art materials such as paints, clay, miniature toys and other media to communicate and provide unique insight into issues, emotions and feelings.
Listening or Sound Technologies: These are specifically sound qualities delivered through music, used alongside a therapeutic process. In this case. I use the Unyte SSP protocols to work in conjunction with enhancing your nervous system response to current or historical trauma.
Parts and Inner Child work: Helping to understand how the wounded parts of us might be showing up where they might not be so welcome today.
Polyvagal-informed Trauma Therapy. Using your nervous system and the cues of safety or danger it is receiving, we work together to balance the system so that it reacts or responds at the appropriate time and place to the appropriate cues.
Integrated Counselling and Psychotherapy
I have been trained in all the modalities listed above and so together we decide which of these, or which blend of these works to enhance your therapy. It is always a choice-based, collaborative process.
