CBT is a form of therapy that has been proven effective in treating a wide range of psychological difficulties encountered by people. The idea behind CBT is that our emotions and behaviours are influenced by our thoughts, beliefs and interpretations about ourselves, the world and others.
Psychodynamic therapy helps people to explore how they are in relationships, focussing on how they deal with difficult or challenging emotions and situations. Psychoanalytic treatment is based on the idea that people are frequently motivated by unrecognised wishes and desires that originated in ones unconscious.
Creative Arts Therapies encourages people to express and understand emotions through artistic expression and through the creative process. It can provide people with critical insight into emotions, thoughts and feelings.
