• Mindfulness-Based (MBCT)Combines mindfulness practice, paying attention to the present moment without judgment, with ideas from cognitive therapy.
• Person-CenteredA warm, non-directive approach: the therapist listens with empathy and without judgment, and trusts the person to find their own direction.
• Positive PsychologyFocuses on well-being, strengths, gratitude and what makes life fulfilling, alongside working through difficulties.
• PsychoanalyticThe tradition that began with Freud. Explores unconscious thoughts and feelings, often through free association, sometimes with several sessions a week.
• PsychodynamicExplores how past experiences, relationships and feelings outside awareness shape how a person thinks and acts today.
• Rational Emotive Behavior (REBT)A form of cognitive therapy that finds rigid beliefs, such as 'I must be perfect', and replaces them with more flexible ones.
• Reality TherapyFocuses on present choices and behavior, and on meeting needs such as connection and control in responsible ways.
• 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.
• TranspersonalIncludes spiritual experience, such as meditation or a sense of connection beyond the self, as part of therapy.
