Approaches to therapy
Psychodynamic Therapy - Emphasises the importance of the unconscious mind and past experiences in explaining current behaviour and emotions.
Integrative - Where several distinct modes of counselling and psychotherapy are combined to address an individual’s problems in a personalised way.
Person-centred - A non-judgemental way of working whereby the counsellor gives you the floor to explore challenging emotions in your own preferred way, creating the right conditions for increasing self-awareness and reaching your fullest potential.
Humanistic - Encourages you to take responsibility for their thoughts and actions, with a focus on developing a stronger, more holistic idea of one’s true self as a way of moving past certain challenging issues.
Relational - Where your therapist prioritises your ways of relating to other people as a route into understanding the problems in your life.
Transactional Analysis - Helps you understand the exact way in which you communicate with others to develop a clearer understanding of your behaviours and emotions.
