Strengths-based approaches focus on the abilities of a person and building on what is already working well.
CBT is based on improving psychological health. The learning comes from within the person’s thinking and experience. Often there is ‘homework’ to practice and master good psychological hygiene.
Hypnosis is often mistaken for being out of control. On the contrary, a person is awake during a process of relaxation that results in a state where new ideas and ideas contributing to behaviour change take place.
EMDR is a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences.
