Therapeutic Approaches
Patricia utilises a variety of therapeutic approaches to suit the diverse needs of her clients, including:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): CBT is a practical, goal-oriented therapy that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviours. Patricia uses CBT to help clients develop healthier coping mechanisms and improve their mental well-being.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Incorporating mindfulness techniques, Patricia helps clients become more aware of their thoughts and feelings, fostering a sense of calm and reducing stress.
Psychodynamic Therapy: This approach explores unconscious patterns and past experiences that influence current behaviour. Patricia guides clients in understanding these underlying issues to achieve deeper emotional insight.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT): SFBT is a short-term therapy that focuses on identifying and building solutions rather than dwelling on problems. Patricia works with clients to set and achieve their personal goals.
