My approach to therapy is Solution Focused. I want my clients to develop coping skills to regulate their moods better, handle stressful circumstances and conflict more effectively, have better interpersonal relationships and to reach their potential.
We all go through life and feel pain in some or other way. We then come to certain conclusions (perceptions) in an effort to protect ourselves. We also instinctively develop certain defence mechanisms, according to our specific temperaments, to protect ourselves, which become neurological pathways in our brains. Unfortunately, we developed some of these protective mechanisms when we were younger and more inexperienced and sometimes, these measurements are not effective anymore.
I use CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), narrative therapy as well as BWRT (Brain Working Recursive Therapy) to override old neurological pathways and develop more effective coping skills. Steps to regulate your mood and to handle conflict will be provided.
I work in collaboration with General Practitioners, Psychiatrists and Occupational Therapists as a multi-disciplinary approach.
