Our therapeutic approaches

Specialist approaches

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

DBT is a behavioural approach to therapy that helps people improve their emotional regulation so that clients have an alternative to coping strategies such as self-harm. Therapists include techniques from mindfulness, as well as practical exercises.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)

A relatively new therapy, EMDR helps you talk very gradually about an experience of trauma in a safe, controlled environment, and then uses eye movements to help ‘desensitise’ the memory of the experience.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

CBT can help people develop awareness of how they feel, and create a stronger sense of control over their thoughts and actions. This can make it easier to question, slow down or divert unhelpful behaviours, and develop skills in self-awareness, self-control and self-acceptance over time.

Other approaches

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCBT)

A new variant of CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), MBCT uses mindfulness to help people recognise their thoughts, feelings and behaviours in order to give them more control over how to think and act.

Integrative Therapy

In integrative therapy, the therapist uses several approaches together to find the right approach for the client. For example, they may start from a person-centred position, listening to why the client is in therapy and what they hope to achieve. They may then draw on CBT tools, such as challenging automatic negative thoughts, to help them tackle these obstacles in a different way.

Solution-focused Therapy

Solution-focused therapy describes any work that starts when the client and practitioner agree at the beginning of therapy to work towards a specific goal. Solution-focused therapy can be ‘brief ‘ or limited to a certain number of sessions, which is sometimes called ‘solution-focused brief therapy’ (SFBT).

Art Therapy

Sometimes it can be easier to express feelings by showing them through creative work, rather than talking about them. Art therapists train specifically to help people use art techniques (painting, drawing, photography, sculpture or collage, for example) to explore responses to the challenge that brings them to therapy.

Person-centred Therapy

Person-centred therapy focuses on the ‘actualisation’ of the client – that is, for the client to become as much themselves as possible.

Psychodynamic

Psychodynamic psychotherapy focuses on creating insight into the unconscious, subconscious or ‘hidden’ feelings, thoughts, memories and experiences that might affect how a person thinks, feels and acts.

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy is a relational form of therapy that helps people gain insight into their feelings, memories and experiences , in order to help them reach their own conclusions about how to cope with changes in life, including mental health problems.

Before my counselling through ProblemShared I had never received any form of therapy and I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience. I am happy to say I have learnt a lot about myself and how I can better cope with the challenges I have faced. Perhaps more importantly, I feel comfortable reaching out for help in the future should I feel I need it.
Student  
My counsellor was a skilled CBT professional who helped equip me with practical exercises to overcome the issues in question. The counselling I received has enabled me to continue with my studies and regain my confidence moving forward.
Student  
Danny is such a good therapist. The first professional I have spoken to that I felt was actually equipped to help me…very approachable and considerate. Would recommend to anyone but especially LGBTQ+ people as I felt welcome, safe and accepted.
Student  
I have multiple diagnoses for mental health – the counsellor understood this and took it into account during my sessions. Accessibility outside normal hours was brilliant. Definitely considered leaving/deferring without the mental support received.
