Theoretical approaches:
Integrative person centredThis approach says we\'re born with the ability to reach our full potential, but our early experiences may alienate us from our true self.
The therapist seeks to be open and willing to express their own identity without hiding behind expertise or degrees. They also provide other conditions needed for the client\'s growth:
1) Unconditional positive regard (acceptance and appreciation of the client).
2) Empathic understanding (seeing things through the client\'s eyes). 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. CBTCognitive-Behavioural Therapy: focuses on understanding how our thoughts or beliefs effect our behaviour and the way we feel. GestaltA German word meaning 'form' or 'pattern': we look for and create meaning (and patterns and structures) in our lives.
In contrast to psychoanalysis and 'talk' therapies, Gestalt emphasises 'awareness of the here and now', of the body, movement, gesture, feelings and insights.
Gestalt therapists generally encourage clients to focus on present experience - thoughts, feeling, sensations, intuitions - rather than 'going off' into thinking about their past or the supposed origins of a particular issue. solution focused brief therapyBesides being very exploratory, brief therapy emphasises (1) a focus on a specific problem and (2) direct intervention. Solution-focused brief therapy is less concerned with how a problem arose than with the current factors sustaining it and preventing change.
In brief therapy, the therapist takes responsibility for working more pro-actively with the client in order to more quickly treat clinical and subjective conditions. brief therapyBrief therapy emphasises (1) a focus on a specific problem and (2) direct intervention.
