Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

​

CBT is a practical, structured type of therapy that helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. When we’re feeling anxious, low, or stuck, we often get caught in unhelpful thought patterns. CBT helps you: Identify those patterns, challenge them, and replace them with more balanced, helpful ways of thinking.

CBT is a collaborative, goal-focused approach. Together with your therapist, you’ll work on developing tools and strategies to help you cope with challenges, build confidence, and feel more in control of your life.

 

CBT is "problem focused" (undertaken for specific problems) and "action oriented" (therapist tries to assist the client in selecting specific strategies to help address those problems).

​

​

Integrative Psychotherapy

​​

Integrative Psychotherapy is a flexible, personalised approach to therapy. Instead of using just one method, your therapist will draw from a range of techniques, such as CBT or humanistic, to help you explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a way that feels right for you.

​

It’s a collaborative process that focuses on your overall wellbeing and personal growth.
