Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a talking therapy that helps to identify thinking and behaviour patterns that might be affecting how we feel. The way thinking, feeling and behaving is linked is discussed in relation to current problems. This creates options for approaching or managing problems in different ways. CBT can be used to work with immediate difficulties such as anxiety or depression. It can also be used for long term therapy with greater emphasis on historic events that might affect how we see ourselves.

Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic therapy is based on psychoanalysis. This way of working together is based on the belief that our childhood experiences and early relationships can lead to unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns that we might not be aware of. This can result in upsetting feelings. Thoughts and feelings become repressed and are experienced as depression, fear and other negative symptoms. In Psychodynamic therapy links are made between the past and current thinking and behaviour.

Person Centred Therapy
In Person Centred Therapy core therapeutic conditions are made available. Once a trusting relationship has been formed we explore difficulties from your perspective. Working in this way can enable solutions to be revealed without direct guidance. Person Centred Therapy works on the idea that we all have an ability to learn, grow and adapt.

Integrative Therapy
Integrative approaches in counselling therapy draw on a combination of contemporary therapeutic models. It is a unifying relational approach that brings together different therapeutic and theoretical ideas and qualities that can be tailored to meet a person’s individual needs.
