My Approach: A Pluralistic Therapy
In my work, I use a pluralistic approach, which means I believe that no single therapy method works for everyone. I draw from different therapeutic techniques, depending on your unique needs and what feels right for you. Together, we’ll explore what works best to help you reach your goals, ensuring that your therapy is tailored specifically to you. This collaborative and flexible approach allows us to find the most effective path to healing and personal growth.
Cognitive Behavioural (CBT)
Cognitive-behavioural therapy stresses the role of thinking in how we feel and what we do. It is based on the belief that thoughts, rather than people or events, cause our negative feelings. The therapist assists the client in identifying, testing the reality of, and correcting dysfunctional beliefs underlying his or her thinking. The therapist then helps the client modify those thoughts and the behaviours that flow from them. CBT is a structured collaboration between therapist and client and often calls for homework assignments. CBT has been clinically proven to help clients in a relatively short amount of time with a wide range of disorders, including depression and anxiety.
Humanistic
The humanistic method takes a positive view of human nature and emphasises the uniqueness of the individual. Therapists in this tradition, who are interested in exploring the nature of creativity, love, and self-actualisation, help clients realise their potential through change and self-directed growth. Humanistic therapy is also an umbrella term for gestalt, client-centred therapy, and existential therapy.
Psychodynamic
Psychodynamic therapy, also known as insight-oriented therapy, evolved from Freudian psychoanalysis. Like adherents of psychoanalysis, psychodynamic therapists believe that bringing the unconscious into conscious awareness promotes insight and resolves conflict. But psychodynamic therapy is briefer and less intensive than psychoanalysis and also focuses on the relationship between the therapist and the client, as a way to learn about how the client relates to everyone in their life.
