Approach to Counselling & How I Work

Integrative counseling is a flexible approach to therapy that combines techniques and theories from various therapeutic schools of thought to best meet the individual needs of a client. It's a holistic approach that considers the whole person, including their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and social context. Instead of adhering to a single therapeutic model, integrative counselors adapt their approach based on the client's specific situation and the most effective methods for their progress.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of talking therapy that helps individuals understand and change their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to manage mental health issues and improve overall well-being. It's a structured, goal-oriented approach that focuses on identifying and challenging negative thinking patterns and developing more helpful coping strategies.
DBT
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of talk therapy designed to help individuals manage difficult emotions, improve relationships, and change unhealthy behaviors. It's particularly helpful for those with borderline personality disorder or who struggle with intense emotions, but it can be adapted for various other mental health conditions. DBT focuses on teaching skills to manage emotions, cope with distress, and improve interpersonal effectiveness.
