Types of Counselling therapies:

 

At Calm Mind, Savva uses a wide range of theoretical frameworks and therapeutic methods, which will vary to meet the needs of each client. He may focus on one therapy or use a combination of therapies depending on the needs of the individual client.

 

A brief description outlining the main types of therapies has been provided below:

 

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) assists individuals by providing strategies to change negative thinking patterns and behaviours.

 

Solution Focused Therapy is a therapeutic approach which focuses on what clients want to achieve through therapy, rather than on the past problems which have caused them to seek help.

 

Gestalt Therapy is a form of therapy that focuses on the here-and-now experience of what is being thought, felt and done during the counselling session, rather than what could be, or should be done. It promotes personal responsibility and self-awareness, and aims to identify past traumatic experiences that are affecting the client in the present.

 

Systemic Approach looks at people not at an individual level, but as people in a relationship in terms of interactions and how people act and react together. The approach is often used for the family counselling.

 

Person Centred Therapy believes that people have all the resources within them to move through their difficulties; Savva's role is to support you in that process. It involves a therapeutic relationship which is based on honesty, respect, acceptance and being supported. The client is given the time and space to fully direct the course of the sessions.

 

 

How long do I need to commit to counselling?

 

Savva will never pressure you in to long term counselling.

 

Savva will offer brief, medium or long term support depending on what your issues are and in your first session he will discuss with you the reasons for seeking counselling and the outcomes you are seeking.
