Theoretical approaches:
Cognitive Behavioural TherapyFocuses on understanding how our thoughts or beliefs effect our behaviour and the way we feel.
PsychodynamicPsychodynamic counselling focuses on unconscious processes and is derived from the work of Freud and later psychoanalytic theorists.
It uses the therapeutic relationship to gain insight into unconscious relationship patterns that have evolved since childhood. Memories and other evidence of early relationships are used to make sense of current concerns. Change occurs as clients become more aware of the influence of the unconscious (e.g. defence mechanisms, instincts and rules for life) on their behaviour.
Solution FocussedSolution focused therapy focuses on what clients want to achieve through therapy rather than on the problem(s) that made them to seek help. The approach does not focus on the past, but instead, focuses on the present and future.
NarrativeNarrative therapy holds that our identities are shaped by the accounts of our lives found in our stories or narratives. A narrative therapist is interested in helping others fully describe their rich stories and trajectories, ways of living and possibilities associated with them. At the same time, the therapist is interested in co-investigating a problem's many influences, including on the client themself and on their chief relationships.
By focusing on problems' effects on people's lives rather than on problems as inside or part of people, distance is created. This externalisation or objectification of a problem makes it easier to investigate and evaluate the problem's influences.
