Psychologists
Psychologists study how we think, feel, and behave from a scientific viewpoint and apply this knowledge to help people understand, explain, and modify their behaviours. A Psychologist works to help people gain insight and explore ways to manage life’s stressors through different approaches. However, psychotherapy (regular in-person interactions) is one of the most common treatments. When visiting a psychologist, they will help you determine what type of treatment to proceed with, depending on the circumstance of your visit. The most common recommendation is counselling or therapy. The difference is that therapy is a long-term process, whereas counselling is a short-term treatment.

our approaches to counselling
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a psycho-social intervention mainly used with depression and anxiety disorders to reduce symptoms. This treatment helps clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Cognitive behavioural therapy treats many different struggles, but the treatment plan is unique to each individual. Common issues we treat using CBT include:
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
- Panic Disorder
- Phobias
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Bipolar Disorder
- Substance Abuse
Humanistic Therapy
Humanistic Therapy is an approach that emphasizes the importance of being your true self to live a fulfilling life; the personal worth of the individual, the centrality of human values, and the creative, active nature of human beings. For this treatment, a counsellor will focus on the hierarchy of needs: self-actualization, esteem, love and belonging, safety needs, and psychological needs. Humanistic therapy is beneficial in treating:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Panic disorders
- Addiction
- Personality disorders
- Schizophrenia
- Relationship issues
- Self-esteem struggles
strength-Based & solution focused therapy
A Strength-Based approach focuses on the positive qualities rather than the negatives. This theory highlights a person’s self-determination and strengths to reveal resilience in the face of misfortune. There are multiple ways a strength-based approach can be applied, like leadership, counselling, community and social work, paediatrics, and much more.
Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a goal-directed approach used for emotional and mental health problems, such as depression, anxiety, and self-esteem. It’s conducted through observation of an individual’s response to specific questions. A counsellor will create workable solutions that the patient can carry out on their own through a series of needed changes.
