Types of Counselling therapies:

 

At Calm Mind, Savva

uses a wide range of

theoretical frameworks

and therapeutic

methods, which will

vary to meet the needs

of each client. He may focus on one therapy or use a combination of therapies depending on the needs of the individual

client.

 

A brief description

outlining the main types

of therapies has been

provided below:

 

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) assists individuals by providing strategies to change negative thinking patterns and behaviours.

 

Solution Focused Therapy is a therapeutic approach which focuses

on what clients want to

achieve through therapy,

rather than on the past

problems which have

caused them to seek help.

 

Gestalt Therapy is a

form of therapy that focuses on the here-and-now experience of what is being thought, felt and done during the counselling session, rather than what could be, or should be done. It promotes personal responsibility and self-awareness, and aims to identify past traumatic experiences that are affecting the client in the present.

 

Systemic Approach

looks at people not at

an individual level, but

as people in a

relationship in terms of

interactions and how

people act and react together. The approach is often used for the family counselling.

 

Person Centred Therapy believes that people have all the resources

within them to move

through their difficulties;

Savva's role is to

support you in that

process. It involves a

therapeutic relationship

which is based on

honesty, respect, acceptance and being supported. The client is given the time and space to fully direct the course of the sessions.

 

 

How long do I need to commit to counselling?

 

Savva will never pressure you in to long term counselling.

 

Savva will offer brief,

medium or long term

support depending on

what your issues are and

in your first session he

will discuss with you the

reasons for seeking counselling and the outcomes you are seeking.
