Individual Psychotherapy

What is Psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy, or talk therapy, is a way to help people with mental health problems by talking to a trained therapist. The therapist listens, offers support, and helps you understand and manage your feelings, thoughts, and behaviours. It can help with issues like stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship problems. There are different types of therapy, but the main goal is to make you feel better and improve your overall well-being.

Procedures

The procedures of psychotherapy typically involve several key steps:

  1. 90-minutes Initial Consultation:

    • Information Gather : The therapist gathers information about your mental health history, current symptoms, and reasons for seeking therapy.
    • Assessment: The therapist may use questionnaires or interviews to understand your situation better.
    • Setting Goals: You and the therapist work together to identify specific goals for therapy, such as reducing anxiety, improving relationships, or managing stress.

  2. Developing a Treatment Plan:

    • Treatment Plan: The therapist outlines a plan for how therapy will proceed, including the type of therapy, frequency of sessions, and techniques to be used.

  3. Therapy Sessions:

    • Subsequent Sessions: You attend regular therapy sessions, depending on your therapist’s recommendations, where you talk about your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
    • Therapeutic Techniques: The therapist uses various techniques and exercises to help you understand and change your thoughts and behaviors. This can include talking, role-playing, or practicing new skills.

  4. Homework and Practice:

    • Assignments: The therapist may give you tasks or exercises to do between sessions to reinforce what you’ve learned in therapy.

  5. Progress Evaluation:

    • Review: Periodically, you and the therapist will review your progress towards your goals and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan.

  6. Termination:

    • Ending Therapy: Once your goals have been met, you and the therapist will discuss ending therapy. You may also have follow-up sessions to ensure continued progress.

Throughout the process, confidentiality and a safe, supportive environment are maintained to help you feel comfortable and open during therapy.

Our psychotherapy approaches

Here are some of our approaches applied to our clients:

  • 1. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. It helps individuals challenge and alter distorted thinking and develop healthier ways of coping with stress and emotional difficulties.

    2. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): ACT encourages individuals to accept their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling guilty for them. It emphasizes mindfulness and commitment to personal values to help people live a more meaningful life despite emotional pain.

    3. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices. It is designed to help individuals manage emotions, reduce self-destructive behaviors, and improve relationships. It’s particularly effective for borderline personality disorder and emotional regulation issues.

    4. Person-Centered Therapy (PCT): PCT, also known as client-centered therapy, emphasizes the therapist’s role in providing a supportive environment where clients can discover their true selves. The therapist offers empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuine support, allowing clients to find their own solutions to problems.
