Methods I use
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Faith-Integrated Practice Motivational Interviewing (MI) Narrative Therapy Positive Psychology / Strengths-Based Approaches Transactional Analysis Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT) ›››
I draw on several complementary approaches and adapt them according to what emerges during the work. I use strengths-based and positive psychology principles to identify existing abilities, resources and possibilities for growth, while Transactional Analysis helps me explore patterns in communication, relationships and responses. I use CBT-based and trauma-focused cognitive behavioural techniques where appropriate to help clients recognize connections between thoughts, emotions and behaviour and develop more helpful ways of responding. Motivational Interviewing guides my work when clients are considering change, allowing their own goals and readiness to shape the process. Through a narrative approach, I help clients examine the meaning they attach to their experiences and identify alternative perspectives. Where appropriate and welcomed by the client, I integrate faith-based principles into the work. Throughout, I involve clients in identifying goals, selecting practical strategies and reviewing progress.
