Therapy Approaches

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is based on the idea that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours are all connected. CBT aims to identify how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact, and then to replace negative patterns of thinking and behaving with healthier, more productive alternatives.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) focuses on understanding the cause of particular behaviours and developing skills to effectively manage them. The focus of DBT is to help people manage difficult emotions in a healthy way and to improve communication skills. DBT can help you to develop self-confidence, self-awareness, and self-acceptance.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps individuals become aware of their thoguhts and feelings without trying to control or change them. The goal of ACT is not to eliminate unpleasant thoughts or feelings but to become more mindful and aware of them, allowing individuals to take conscious control over their lives as they work towards their goals and values.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is designed to help people become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations in order to reduce stress and mange difficult emotions. The goal is to become more mindful of the present moment, developing an acceptance and non-judgmental attitude towards one’s experience.
