Choosing the right therapy is an important step. Understanding the different approaches can help you decide what feels like the best fit for you.
You’ll find brief descriptions below to support your decision.
CBT Sessions
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) CBT is based on the understanding that our thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and behaviours are closely connected. How we think about a situation influences how we feel and how we behave, and in turn our behaviours can reinforce certain patterns of thinking and feeling. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours and finding more balanced, helpful ways of responding.
Key aspects of CBT
Structure
CBT is a structured therapy, meaning it has a clear plan and direction rather than being open-ended. Sessions have a clear purpose and agenda, with a focus on specific difficulties you would like to work on. We use practical tools and techniques both during and between sessions. These are tailored to your needs, and together we explore which approaches are most helpful for you.
Psychoeducation
Through psychoeducation, you gain a basic understanding of the difficulties you are experiencing — how they work, what keeps them going, and what can help. This understanding supports coping more effectively in the here and now, while gradually working towards change and improvement over time.
Skill Practice
CBT involves learning and practising practical strategies in sessions and applying them in everyday life. Over time, these skills can help you respond differently to challenges, manage difficulties more effectively, and build confidence in your ability to cope.
Short-Term Approach
CBT is usually a short-term therapy, meaning it follows a clear journey — with a starting point, direction, and destination — within a defined time frame. It typically involves a planned block of sessions (for example, 6–12). This approach can be time- and cost-effective, while still supporting meaningful change and providing tools you can continue to use long after therapy ends.
Person-centred counselling
Person-centred counselling is a humanistic form of therapy that focuses on the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change. It is based on the belief that, when provided with the right conditions, people have an innate capacity to understand themselves, grow, and move towards positive change. Rather than focusing on techniques or advice, the emphasis is on creating a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace.Person-centred counselling can be helpful for a wide range of life challenges, including emotional distress, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, identity issues, and times of transition or uncertainty.Key aspects of person-centred counselling include:Client-Led ApproachPerson-centred counselling is non-directive, meaning you lead the sessions. There is no fixed agenda or pressure to talk about anything before you are ready. Instead, the focus is on what feels most important to you in the moment, supporting your own process of reflection and insight.Self-Understanding and Self-AcceptanceThrough exploring your experiences and emotions, person-centred counselling supports greater self-awareness and self-acceptance. Over time, this can help you develop a clearer sense of who you are, strengthen self-esteem, and make choices that feel more aligned with your values and needs.Flexible and Open-EndedPerson-centred counselling does not follow a set structure or time limit. The pace and length of therapy are guided by your needs and goals. This flexibility allows space for deeper exploration and personal growth, particularly for ongoing or complex life issues.
