Types of Talking Therapy
Find your preferred therapy style
Below is a summary of the key aspects of different therapy approaches. Have a look and see which approach appeals to you. During your pre-therapy assessment we will discuss the options and decide together which therapy / therapist is going to be the best option for you and the issue you are seeking to address.
Integrative
Integrative Counselling/Psychotherapy is a progressive form of therapy that combines different approaches to fit the needs of any individual client. Your therapist will use techniques and tools from different modalities to tailor an individual approach for you. These modalities usually encompass Psychodynamic, Person-Centred, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques in one integrated model which is flexible and inclusive.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
CBT – Cognitive Behavioural Therapy – aims to help you change the way you think (cognitive) and what you do (behaviour). Rather than looking at past causes, it focuses on current problems and practical solutions to help you feel better now.
The way we think about situations affects the way we feel and behave. If we view a situation negatively, we may experience negative emotions and feelings which lead us to behave in an unhelpful way. Your therapist will help you identify and challenge any negative thinking so you can deal with situations better and behave in a more positive way.
Humanistic
This positive approach focuses on a person’s individual nature, or their true self, in order to lead the most fulfilling life. It encourages people to think about their feelings and take responsibility for their own thoughts and actions. It is based on the idea that humans are good and have the power to make their own decisions. The emphasis is on self-development and achieving your highest potential, rather than on any problematic behaviour. Gestalt therapy, Person-Centred Therapy, Transactional Analysis and Transpersonal Therapy are all Humanistic approaches.
Person Centred
Person-Centred or Client-Centred Therapy is based on the view that everyone has the capacity and desire for personal growth and change, given the right conditions. Rather than being seen as the expert and directing the therapy, the counsellor offers unconditional positive regard, empathy and congruence to help you come to terms with any negative feelings and to change and develop in your own way.
Behavioural
Behavioural therapies are based on the belief that your unwanted or unhealthy behaviours are a learned response to your past experiences. They focus on current problems and aim to help you learn new, more positive behaviours without having to analyse the past.
