Some Therapeutic Strategies We Use
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Is a widely practiced form of psychotherapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. It's based on the premise that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected, and by addressing dysfunctional thoughts and behaviors, we can alleviate emotional distress and improve overall well-being.
CBT is highly structured, goal-oriented, and typically time-limited, with most treatments lasting anywhere from several weeks to several months, depending on the nature and severity of the presenting concerns. It's been extensively researched and has demonstrated effectiveness in treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, OCD, and eating disorders, among others.
Overall, CBT empowers individuals to become more aware of their thoughts and behaviors, develop healthier ways of thinking and responding to challenges, and ultimately, lead more fulfilling lives.
EYE MOVEMENT DESENSITIZATION REPROCESSING (EMDR):
is a psychotherapy approach that helps individuals process distressing memories and experiences, particularly those associated with trauma, in order to alleviate psychological symptoms and promote emotional healing. Developed by psychologist Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s, EMDR has gained widespread recognition as an effective treatment for various mental health conditions.

Overall, EMDR offers a powerful therapeutic approach for individuals struggling with the effects of trauma, providing a path toward healing, resilience, and recovery.
MINDFULNESS BASED THERAPY:
is an approach to psychotherapy that incorporates principles and practices of mindfulness meditation into the therapeutic process. It draws heavily from mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), which were developed to help individuals manage stress, pain, and prevent relapse in depression.

Whether someone has lost a loved one, experienced a significant life change, or is grappling with the impending loss of someone dear, grief therapy provides a safe and supportive space to process their emotions, navigate the grieving process, and find ways to cope and heal.

Grief therapy can be provided in individual, group, or family settings, depending on the needs and preferences of the clients.
