Types of therapy

• CoachingGoal-focused work on the present and future, such as career, performance or life changes, rather than treatment of a mental health condition.

• Culturally SensitiveTakes a person's culture, identity, background and values into account, and shapes the work so it fits their life.
• Family / MaritalTherapy with couples or families together, focused on communication, conflict and the patterns between people.
• Family SystemsSees a person as part of their family as a whole, and explores roles, patterns and communication across the family rather than one person's problems alone.

• ImagoA couples therapy that uses structured conversations to help partners see how childhood experiences shape their conflicts, and to reconnect.

• Play TherapyUses play, toys and games to help children express feelings and work through problems in a way that suits their age.
• RelationalSees relationships as central to well-being. The relationship with the therapist is used to understand and change patterns in other relationships.
• Solution Focused Brief (SFBT)A short-term, goal-focused approach that spends less time on problems and more on what already works and the small steps toward what the person wants.
• Strength-BasedFocuses on the strengths, skills and resources a person already has, and builds on them to meet challenges.
