How I Work
How I Work
Some of the counselling approaches I might draw from are:
- Psycho-educational approaches: equipping you with strategies, such as relaxation and grounding techniques, to provide relief from various symptoms. Education is offered to promote deeper understanding of what you're experiencing.
- Attachment theory: focuses on building a secure attachment/relationship. People with secure attachments tend to have better resiliency towards stress, trauma, and emotions.
- Mindfulness based approaches: using a compassionate and non-judgmental approach to increase in-the-moment awareness of feelings and body sensations. This can help to manage difficult emotions/sensations and promote integration within the brain.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): focuses on reducing the impact of past traumatic experiences that intrude on present-day life.
- Expressive Therapies - Sandplay/Art/Play: creative approaches for reducing overwhelming emotions, working through difficult memories, and gaining insight. Especially helpful for children and adolescents as these approaches are not talk-based therapies.
- Cognitive-behavioral approaches: focus on exploring and understanding the relationships between thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and developing new skills to assist you to cope with difficult emotions.
