Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is the most widely researched approach to therapy and has been shown to be effective with a wide range of issues. The therapist will focus on how your experiences influence your belief system and how this then impacts your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours in response to situations that arise.
CBT is a short-term approach in which you and the therapist will work collaboratively to establish goals and a plan for treatment. You will be taught to identify thought patterns that are problematic and to develop tools to change these to be more adaptive, thereby improving your quality of life.

Solution-Focused Therapy
Solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) is a brief approach to therapy that is goal oriented and will focus on using your existing strengths, supports, and resources to facilitate change. The emphasis will be on finding solutions and on assisting you in thinking differently about the presenting problem.
The therapist will guide you in discovering solutions and in looking towards a preferred future in which the problem is no longer an issue.
“Problem talk creates problems, solution talk creates solutions.”

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals live a meaningful life aligned with their values. It focuses on increasing psychological flexibility by teaching clients to accept difficult emotions and thoughts rather than avoiding or fighting them. Through mindfulness practices and commitment to value-based actions, ACT empowers clients to embrace the present moment and take steps toward their goals, even in the face of challenges.
What we need to learn to do is to look at the thought, rather than from thought
