Therapeutic Approaches
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
Psychodynamic psychotherapy is an insight oriented therapy that explores the root causes of emotional distress, and underlying patterns that may be influencing current challenges. It aims to help clients gain deep self-understanding and heightened awareness of the influence of their relational patterns.
As therapy progresses, clients internalise healthier relationship models, leading to a greater understanding of their own needs, boundaries, and ways of relating to others. By working through past wounds and challenging relational patterns, clients can experience transformative shifts in their well-being and relationships.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy aims to help clients develop psychological flexibility by fostering acceptance of their feelings and experiences, while also committing to actions aligned with their values.
Interpersonal Therapy
Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) is a psychotherapy approach grounded in attachment theory that examines how individuals relate to others, and the impact these relationships have on their mental state.
In IPT, clients address current interpersonal challenges while the therapist assists in improving their communication and problem-solving skills. The primary goal of this therapy is to enhance interpersonal relationships, and promote overall well-being.
Emotion Focused Therapy
Emotion Focused Therapy is grounded in the belief that emotions play a crucial role in our psychological well-being, and that emotional experiences are a key component of personal growth and change.
This form of therapy aims to help clients understand, regulate, and transform their emotions in order to foster adaptive emotional responses and overall psychological health.
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is primarily used to help clients process and heal from traumatic experiences.
Trauma leaves tangible, physical imprints inside the body, disrupting the way memories are stored, and altering the structure of the brain. EMDR therapy aims to alleviate emotional distress, reformulate negative beliefs, and reduce physiological arousal.
