ME Therapy
Person-Centred Therapy
In person-centred counselling, the client is regarded as the expert on their own life, and the counsellor's role is to provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment in which clients can explore their thoughts and feelings openly. This approach values genuineness, unconditional positive regard, and empathetic understanding, as these qualities foster trust and facilitate the client's self-exploration and self-acceptance. The ultimate goal is to help clients tap into their inner resources, make positive choices, and achieve personal growth and self-fulfilment. Whether you are struggling with emotional issues, relationship challenges, or personal development goals, the Person-Centred Approach offers a safe, accepting, and client-centred space to embark on your journey of self-discovery and healing
Trauma-Informed Therapy
Trauma-Informed Therapy is a compassionate and holistic approach that recognises the profound impact of trauma on an individual's mental, emotional, and physical well-being. It acknowledges that many individuals seeking counselling have experienced traumatic events or stressors in their lives. Trauma can range from childhood abuse and neglect to more recent events like accidents, violence, or loss. Trauma-Informed Therapy seeks to create a safe and supportive environment in which clients can explore and heal from their past experiences.
In this therapeutic approach, counsellors are attuned to the unique needs of trauma survivors, emphasising safety, trust, and empowerment. They understand that trauma can affect the way individuals think, feel, and interact with the world. Through trauma-informed care, clients are provided with tools to better regulate their emotions, address distressing memories, and rebuild a sense of control over their lives. This approach is not solely about discussing traumatic events but rather about helping individuals heal and regain their sense of self.
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a powerful and evidence-based therapeutic approach that offers individuals effective tools and strategies to manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and enhance overall quality of life. Originally developed to treat borderline personality disorder, DBT has proven highly adaptable and effective for addressing a wide range of emotional and behavioural challenges.
DBT emphasises the concept of dialectics - the idea that seemingly contradictory elements can coexist. This approach encourages individuals to accept their emotions while simultaneously working towards change. DBT skills training covers four key areas: emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. Whether you're struggling with mood swings, self-harm, or difficulties in relationships, DBT equips you with practical tools to navigate life's challenges and build a more balanced, fulfilling life.
