Types of Therapy, counselling theories and approaches

Humanistic:

Humanistic counselling theories hold that people have within themselves all the resources they need to live healthy and functional lives, and that problems occur as a result of restricted or unavailable problem-solving resources. Humanistic counsellors see their role not as one of directing clients in how to address their problems but, rather, as one of helping clients to discover and access within themselves the restricted resources they need to solve problems on their own. Some currently preferred humanistic counselling therapies include person-centered, existential, emotion-focused, Gestalt and positive psychology.

Cognitive:

Cognitive counselling theories hold that people experience psychological and emotional difficulties when their thinking is out of sync with reality. When this distorted or "faulty" thinking is applied to problem-solving, the result understandably leads to faulty solutions. Cognitive counsellors work to challenge their clients' faulty thinking patterns so clients are able to derive solutions that accurately address the problems they are experiencing. Currently preferred cognitive-theory-based therapies include cognitive behavior therapy, reality therapy, motivational interviewing, and acceptance and commitment therapy.

Along with psycho education, support, information and reassurance I will regularly utilise some of the follow therapies, tailored specifically to your individual needs:

• Solution Focussed
• Person centred
• Emotion Focussed Therapy
• Strengths Based Therapy
• Narrative Therapy
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Motivational
• Mindfullness
• Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Somatic Therapy
