About therapy sessions
I have an integrative approach to therapy,
specialising in
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT),
Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy (REBT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
and Mindfulness-based CBT.
In sessions, steps we might typically focus on include:
- Gaining clarity about your situation – your past, the present, what is important to you for the future and the changes you want to make going forward.
- Identifying and overcoming tendencies to get caught up in patterns of thinking that may be having a negative impact on you and affecting your ability to deal with problems.
- Identifying and overcoming the influence of past experiences that may be making you more vulnerable to problems now.
- Working through and resolving difficult feelings about your experiences.
- Overcoming unwanted habits, behaviours or compulsions.
- Taking action to create positive change when this feels difficult.
- Developing a long-term plan to navigate problems and support your well-being.
