Therapeutic Approach

The Therapeutic approach used in therapy is informed by CBT and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy:

 

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a common type of talk therapy (psychotherapy). You work with your therapist in a structured way, attending a limited number of sessions. CBT helps you become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking so you can approach challenging life situations differently, and develop alternative perspectives about yourself, other people, your future, and the world around you. These new points of view help you change unhelpful behaviours or patterns in your life.

 

CBT can be a very helpful tool in treating mental health disorders, such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or OCD.

 

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT):

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is designed to help people learn to identify and understand their thoughts and mental processes. It combines the ideas of cognitive therapy with meditative practices and mindfulness. The heart of this work lies in becoming acquainted with internal processes that are associated with your issue or problem, while simultaneously learning to develop a new relationship to them. MBCT was developed by Zindel Segal, Mark Williams and John Teasdale, based on Jon Kabat-Zinn’s Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program.
