Theoretical approaches:
Transactional AnalysisSometimes called 'TA' for short, Transactional Analyisis is an integrative approach to counselling and psychotherapy, meaning that it integrates together elements of the psychoanalytic, humanist and cognitive approaches.
TA is a process to diagnose the ego states where verbal exchanges originate, as well as techniques to use this information to improve communication. It usually involves helping the client get in touch with internal parent/adult/child transactions that affect human behaviour. ,
HumanisticIn this approach the counsellor is regarded not so much as an 'expert' who knows more than the client, but instead as someone who is skilled in facilitating a process of self-discovery in another. The central belief is in the possibility for change and growth towards fulfilment of potential, in which the individual is self-aware and responsible for her/his own choices. ,
RelationalRelational Counselling hinges on the therapeutic relationship between client and counsellor and sees this relationship as a co-creation between the two.
It is based on the idea that emotional well-being is dependent on having satisfying relationships with others, and that emotional distress is often rooted in patterns of relational experience, past and present, which have the power to demean and deaden the self.
The relational therapist tries to understand the client's unique self-experience in its social/relational context and to respond with empathy and genuine presence.
Together, client and therapist create a new in-depth relationship which is supportive, strengthening and enlivening.
Within this secure relationship, the client can safely re-experience, and then find freedom from, the effects of destructive relationships, past and present. ,
Play TherapyA form of psychotherapy that uses play situations/toys and games to build a therapeutic relationship and encourage self-expression. ,
SandtrayIn sand tray work, the client is invited to create a piece of her/his world in a tray containing sand. They can do so by making patterns in the sand and/or using water and/or placing miniature objects (from an extensive choice made available) into the sandtray in any configuration that feels right.
Everyone is encouraged to play with the sand exactly as they wish. Some dig into its depths. Others build up to the heights. Some create geographies of mountains, valleys and rivers. Others create worlds with objects and figures. Some create dramatic play that tells a story. Some work with dry sand and others add water. Some talk as they build and others remain silent. There is no right or wrong way to play.
There are those who have described sandtray as comparable to a "waking dream". Meaningful images, dilemmas, fears, hopes and dreams can be accessed through the sandtray, allowing conscious and unconscious aspects of the psyche to interact. The therapist neither analyses nor interprets the sand-world. The meaning of the play emerges as the client experiences it and shares it with the therapist. The outcome is often a feeling of rightness and truth for the client. "This is how it is. This is just what it is like for me." ,
