Frequently Asked Questions
Which therapeutic approach is used in counselling?
Counselling may involve several therapeutic approaches depending on a person’s needs. Integrative counselling combines different therapeutic models, such as CBT and person-centred therapy, to support individuals in exploring their thoughts, emotions, and behaviour patterns.
How do you decide which therapy approach is suitable?
During the initial counselling session, we explore your experiences, goals, and preferences. This helps determine which therapeutic approach may be most helpful.
Can different counselling approaches be combined?
Yes. Many counselling sessions use an integrative approach, meaning different therapeutic methods may be combined depending on the client’s needs and circumstances.
