CBT
According to the cognitive theory, external events (e.g. being overlooked for a promotion at work) are being interpreted according to one’s core beliefs about themselves and the world.
SCHEMA THERAPY
Schemas are core beliefs that are usually formed early in life and affect people’s view of themselves and the world.
INTERPERSONAL THERAPY (IPT)
Interpersonal therapy is a branch of psychodynamic theory that focuses on improving interpersonal relationships.
FAMILY THERAPY
Family therapy is a range of techniques that focus on the individual’s functioning within the their family and other important systems in their life.
EMOTION FOCUSED THERAPY
EFT is based on schema therapy and focuses on identifying emotions and enabling adaptive expression of emotions.
MINDFULNESS AND ACCEPTANCE AND COMMITMENT THERAPY (ACT)
Patients often appreciate ACT because it is non-judgemental, relatively easy to apply and results are evident almost immediately.
Researchers have found that emotional awareness is linked with better mental health and helps decision making.
GRIEF.
Some people suffer from prolonged grief, spanning years or even decades, where feelings of loss are intense and can cause disability to live out day to day tasks. Cases as such may need further professional care.
