Exploring Your Options: A Guide to Types of Therapy
Types of Therapy
As a dedicated and empathetic therapist and supervisor, I am passionate about providing a safe, non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. With a strong foundation in various therapeutic approaches, I am equipped to support clients in overcoming a wide range of mental health challenges.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a popular therapy that focuses on the relationship between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It aims to help you identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviours that contribute to your mental health challenges. CBT is effective in treating a range of conditions, including anxiety, depression, and trauma.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
DBT is similar to CBT but emphasises regulating emotions, being mindful, and accepting uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. It was initially developed to treat borderline personality disorder but is now used to treat a range of mental health conditions.
Emotionally Focused Therapy
Emotionally Focused Therapy is an approach that helps individuals and couples understand and change their emotional responses to challenging situations. It focuses on building awareness of emotions, regulating and resolving them, and encouraging people to work on their feelings rather than suppressing them.
Gestalt Therapy
Gestalt therapy is a humanistic approach that focuses on the present moment and personal responsibility. It aims to help individuals become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and to take responsibility for their choices and actions.
Humanistic Therapy
Humanistic therapy is a person-centred approach that focuses on personal growth, self-actualisation, and self-acceptance. It aims to help individuals develop a more positive and compassionate relationship with themselves and find meaning and purpose in life.
Interpersonal Therapy
Interpersonal therapy is a type of therapy that focuses on improving communication skills and relationships. It aims to help individuals understand and change negative interaction patterns and develop more positive and fulfilling relationships.
Person-Centred Therapy
Person-centred therapy is a non-directive approach that focuses on the client’s growth and self-actualisation. It aims to provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences and develop a more positive and compassionate relationship with themselves.
Phenomenological Therapy
Phenomenological therapy focuses on the individual’s subjective experience. It aims to help individuals understand and make sense of their experiences and to develop a more positive and compassionate relationship with themselves.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on the unconscious mind and past experiences. It aims to help individuals understand and resolve unconscious conflicts and feelings and develop a more positive and compassionate relationship with themselves.
Psychosynthesis Therapy
Psychosynthesis therapy is a type of therapy that focuses on personal growth, self-actualisation, and spiritual development. It aims to help individuals develop a more positive and compassionate relationship with themselves and to find meaning and purpose in life.
Relationship Therapy
Relationship therapy, also known as couples counselling, is a type of psychotherapy designed to help individuals and couples recognise and resolve conflicts to improve their relationships. This therapeutic approach focuses on enhancing communication, understanding, and intimacy between partners. It can address a wide range of issues, including recurring arguments, infidelity, sexual difficulties, financial stress, and parenting challenges. By fostering a supportive and non-judgemental environment, relationship therapy aims to strengthen the bond between partners, promote mutual respect, and develop healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
Transactional Analysis Therapy
Transactional analysis therapy is a type of therapy that focuses on communication and relationships. It aims to help individuals understand and change negative interaction patterns and develop more positive and fulfilling relationships.
