Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Solution Focused Therapy (SFT)
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
    Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) is a widely used and effective form of psychotherapy that focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. In CBT, individuals work with a therapist to identify and challenge negative thought patterns and beliefs that contribute to distressing emotions and problematic behaviours. Through this process, clients learn to develop more adaptive ways of thinking and behaving, leading to improved emotional well-being and coping skills. CBT is structured, goal-oriented and typically involves homework assignments to practice new skills outside of therapy sessions. It is evidence-based and has been shown to be effective in treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety disorders, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.
  • Solution Focused Therapy (SFT)
    Solution-focused therapy (SFT) is a goal-oriented and future-focused approach to therapy that emphasises clients' strengths and resources rather than dwelling on their problems or past experiences. In SFT, therapists collaborate with clients to identify their goals and explore solutions that can bring about positive change in their lives. This approach is brief and typically involves a limited number of sessions, as the focus is on finding practical solutions to current issues rather than delving into the underlying causes of problems. SFT often incorporates techniques such as scaling questions, miracle questions and exception-finding to help clients envision and work towards their desired outcomes. This approach is particularly effective for clients who are seeking short-term, practical solutions to specific challenges and who are motivated to make changes in their lives.
  • Motivational Interviewing (MI)
    Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative, client-centred approach that aims to elicit and strengthen motivation for change. In MI, therapists work with clients to explore their ambivalence about changing problematic behaviours, such as substance abuse or unhealthy lifestyle choices. Using empathetic listening and open-ended questions, therapists help clients identify their own reasons for change and resolve any conflicting feelings they may have. MI emphasises the importance of autonomy and self-efficacy, empowering clients to make informed decisions about their behaviour. This approach is particularly effective in helping clients overcome resistance to change and in promoting lasting behavioural change. ​
