Gestalt therapy emphasizes awareness of the present moment and personal responsibility. It focuses on integrating fragmented parts of oneself into a cohesive whole through experiential techniques such as role-playing, empty-chair dialogue, and focusing on emotions and body sensations.
Relationship and couples counseling using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and restructuring emotional responses within relationships. EFT emphasizes creating secure emotional bonds between partners by exploring and reshaping the underlying patterns of interaction and communication.
Clinical supervision is crucial for ongoing development and effectiveness in practice. It’s a collaborative relationship where the supervisor guides the clinician through challenging cases, helping them refine therapeutic techniques and navigate ethical dilemmas.
Mindfulness is the practice of intentionally focusing attention on the present moment without judgment. It involves being fully aware of thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and the surrounding environment. Meditation, often used to cultivate mindfulness, encompasses a variety of techniques aimed at achieving a heightened state of awareness and inner peace.
Processing trauma in therapy involves creating a safe and supportive environment where individuals can explore and integrate their traumatic experiences. Therapists employ evidence-based techniques like eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR), narrative therapy, or psychodynamic approaches to help clients process and make sense of their trauma.
Therapy for recovery from substance use and harm minimization typically involves a multifaceted approach tailored to individual needs. It begins with establishing a trusting therapeutic relationship where clients feel safe to explore their substance use patterns, triggers, and underlying issues.
