My therapeutic models I use
- Integrative approach
Integrative therapy is a flexible and personalised approach that combines elements from different therapeutic models to best suit the clients' needs. It moves beyond the limitations of single-school approaches by drawing on various psychological theories and techniques.
- Person-centred Counselling for Depression model
Person-centred experiential counselling is a humanistic approach that focuses on the client's experience and inner resources to facilitate positive change and address depression. An emphasises on empathy and genuineness from the therapist creates a safe space to explore feelings and experiences related to depression and help move the client into growth and self-actualisation.
- Strength-based approach
This approach emphasises a client's positive attributes, resources, and past successes to facilitate growth and well-being, rather than focusing solely on their problems or deficits. This approach believes that individuals possess inherent strengths and resilience that can be leveraged to overcome challenges and improve their lives.
- Neuro-affirmative approach
This approach aims to empower neurodivergent individuals by building on their strengths and helping them navigate societal expectations and challenges.
- Trauma-informed approach
A trauma-informed approach is a strengths-based framework that recognises the widespread impact of trauma and emphasises creating safe, supportive environments that promote healing and recovery. It shifts the focus from "What's wrong with you?" to "What happened to you?" to understand the potential impact of past trauma on behavior and responses.
