Counselling Approaches I work toward tailoring my interventions from different modalities to fit the needs of the individual.
As an integrative counsellor, some of the approaches I use include: cognitive behavioural therapy, humanistic, psychodynamic, transactional analysis, holistic therapy and solution focused (brief) therapy. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy: "an approach used to help understand and change the way think, feel and behave" Humanistic Therapies: "the main goals of humanistic psychology are to find out how individuals perceive themselves here and now and to recognise growth, self-direction and responsibilities" Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: "a form of depth psychology is a form of depth psychology that focuses on the unconscious and past experiences, to determine current behaviour" Transactional Analysis: a type of humanistic therapy, which "encourages individuals to analyse previous decisions they have made to understand the direction and patterns of their life for themselves. It also helps clients to trust their decisions and think/act as an individual improving the way they feel about themselves" Holistic Therapy: these are "complementary therapies that can work alongside conventional medical treatment". These include reflexology, ayurvedic treatments and alternative therapies Solution Focused (brief) Therapy: is a type of therapy focused on "being brief and focusing on solutions, rather than on problems" In addition, I have recently completed an Advanced Masterclass in Hypnotherapy, which is a techniques I can call upon during my counselling sessions if required. I can cover Hypnobirthing, EMDR, Deep Trance, working with Children and Gastric Band Hypnotherapy |
