It is important to find a psychologist that is the right fit for you, and that you feel comfortable, although it is normal for many people to feel quite nervous prior to their initial consultation but if it is the right therapeutic match you will quickly feel at ease.
While the therapeutic relationship is the foundation of treatment, our psychologists use a variety of evidence based treatment approaches that have been shown to be effective based on clinical studies. Some clients prefer a very directive, structured approach whereas other people prefer a more explorative, less structured approach. Some of the approaches our psychologists use include:
Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment approach for a range of mental and emotional health issues including anxiety and depression. CBT aims to help a person identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and to learn practical self-help strategies.
Often this involves integrating mindfulness components (known as Mindfulness based CBT) based on the current research findings which highlight the value of learning to change the way you relate to thoughts, feelings and sensations.
Acceptance and Commitmpy (ACT) teaches skills to help individuals live and behave in ways consistent with personal values while developing psychological flexibility. This approach helps individuals recognize ways in which their attempts to suppress, manage, and control emotional experiences create challenges. By recognizing and addressing these challenges, individuals can become better able to make room for values-based actions that support well-being.
Schema Therapy is particularly helpful for clients who have had life long struggles with a particular issue such as depression or patterns of relating to situations or people in ways that are not working well for you and interfering with living your happiest life. Schema therapy identifies and seeks to modify core patterns or behaviours that we tend to repeatedly use throughout our lives.
Psychodynamic Therapy is suited to clients wishing to understand, explore their situation in depth, involving longer term therapy and a strong focus on the therapeutic relationship. It is less structured than some of the other approaches, with a strong focus on insight and personal growth.
