CBT helps people to identify destructive thought patterns that negatively affect their emotions and behaviour. The therapist will address these thoughts and teach you how to challenge and replace them with more realistic ones. For example, if you’re faced with an important test, and your negative thought is “I will fail this", you’re likely to feel demotivated and unworthy as a result. 
 
The therapist will teach you how to question such distortions and help you replace them with more objective (less untrue) thoughts. The major advantage of CBT is that you can see a change in your emotions and behaviour in a relatively short period.

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy

Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy is a therapeutic approach that helps people overcome irrational beliefs that lead them to experience negative reactions to external events. REBT is based on the ABC model. According to this, it is our beliefs about a particular situation that shape our reactions, and hence, our interpretations of an event are at the core of psychological distress. 
 
A-activating event, B-belief about the event, C-consequence,i.e your emotional reaction to the belief. 
 
This approach will help you overcome mental health concerns by teaching you how to replace negative beliefs with positive, healthier thoughts. If rigid belief systems are hindering your ability to cope with circumstances, the therapist will help you see how irrational thoughts are harming you.

Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy

Humanistic therapy is a client-focused therapeutic approach. It is grounded on the belief that people have the ability to achieve their goals if they receive the right kind of positive support. Furthermore, it emphasises self-development and responsibility. Therapists help individuals to identify their strengths and choices in a current situation. It is largely focused on the ‘here and now’. 
 
This approach does not believe in categorising people on the basis of a specific diagnosis, instead, it helps the individual as a whole. The therapist will guide you towards making choices for yourself that are healthy and productive.

Humanistic Therapy

FST is a form of psychotherapy that addresses the family unit as a whole. It helps individuals cope with their mental health concerns within the context of their families - where many concerns are likely to originate from. Family members work together to understand how the family dynamic impacts their individual functioning and vice versa. 
 
One of the core beliefs of this approach is that anything that impacts an individual member of the family, impacts the entire family. For example, if one member of the family is struggling with addiction, the therapist will adress this within the context of the entire family.
 
Therapists usually approach issues in a circular manner rather than in a linear fashion. The idea is to assess how connections within the family impact each member.

Family Systems Therapy

Affirmative therapy is based on the belief that individuals from minority communities experience mental health concerns that are shaped by their identities. For instance, as a member of the LGBTQAI community, you may experience discrimination from loved ones or strangers on the street. And while this may result in depression, anxiety or PTSD, affirmative therapy aims to address the underlying bias and prejudice that the led to these mental health issues. 
 
Therapists who apply this approach usually address their own biases and educate themselves on specific issues relating to the LGBTQAI community. 
 
Therapists help individuals come to terms with their gender or sexual identity. On the other hand, people who struggle with homophobia or transphobia can also benefit from this type of therapy.

Affirmative Therapy

EMDR therapy is especially helpful in cases of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or Severe Anxiety. In EMDR sessions, your therapist will ask you to focus on a negative memory or thought and while you concentrate on this, you’ll simultaneously be asked to do some specific eye movements, by following their finger. 
 
This allows your brain to process the memory safely, thus helping you relieve anxiety. One of the major advantages is that you don’t have to relive and talk about painful memories in great detail; instead, you process the pain based on standard protocol. 
 
For example, imagine someone who has severe anxiety related to driving. EMDR allows them to reprocess the triggering experience in a safe environment, thus helping them to heal.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy

Trauma-informed therapy is an approach where therapists acknowledge the complex impact of trauma on a person’s mental, physical and emotional well-being. It is not about following a specific intervention but rather tailoring interventions in the context of the individual’s trauma history, triggers, and specific needs. We also believe that children/youth/families are not passive recipients of trauma and hardships. They respond to it the best way they can with the skills and resources they have. Our obligation as therapists is to stay respectful, build safety and invite their agency so that healing can happen on their own terms.

Trauma-Informed Therapy

Narrative therapy is a respectful, non-blaming approach to therapy and community work, which centers people as the experts in their own lives. It views problems as separate from people and assumes people have many skills, beliefs, values, commitments, and hopes that assist them in reducing the influence of problems in their lives. The therapists collaborate with the child/youth and their families to build richer alternate stories that can help them in moving towards their preferred futures.

Narrative Therapy

Psychoanalysis is often represented in movies and TV shows and you’ve probably seen an image of a client lying on a sofa and a serious-looking therapist sitting quietly in a chair. While this representation is true to some extent, psychodynamic therapy has undergone changes over the years. It is talk therapy that relies on the idea that our unconscious mind is the key to uncovering our psychological distress. 
 
In this approach, a therapist will help you understand feelings, beliefs and childhood experiences, in an attempt to identify self-defeating behaviours and explore healthier ways to cope with life’s challenges. The main benefit of this therapy is that it addresses the root cause of an issue, and thus, aims to help you feel better by talking about whatever is most relevant to you.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Mindfulness is a therapeutic approach that helps a person stay in the present and become aware of what they’re currently feeling. It involves a number of different techniques that can help you feel calmer and less stressed. 
 
For example, your therapist might use guided imagery or visualisation exercises to walk you through a journey that will help you focus on your breathing. 
 
Mindfulness therapy can not only address mental health concerns like anxiety, stress, sleep disturbances and depression, it can also help to improve concentration, decrease burn out and improve overall well-being. 
 
The advantage of this approach is that it can be practiced any time and anywhere.

Mindfulness

Solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) helps a person find solutions rather than diving into problems. Your therapist will help you set goals for the future and teach you coping mechanisms to accomplish these goals. 
 
Unlike other forms of therapy that focus on what caused the problem, SFBT helps you identify skills and resources that you can use to build a more positive future. The word ‘brief’ is key in this approach as the focus is on finding a solution quickly and reducing the amount of time you spend suffering due to a mental health concern.

SFBT

This approach to therapy is designed to offer people a safe space to vent their feelings and frustrations. The therapist takes on the role of a supportive person who empathises, listens and offers advice, when necessary. 
 
The main aim of this therapy is to help you to feel supported and encouraged while you are going through a tough time. 
Sometimes, all you need is for someone to listen without judgement. Having a dedicated therapist who tries to understand what you’re gong through and listens intently can make a big difference when you’re struggling with life stressors. 
 
The main benefit of this therapy is that you feel relief in each session as you get support in real-time.

Supportive Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages acceptance as a way to deal with negative thoughts and experiences. ACT promotes openly facing distress instead of avoiding or eliminating it. 
 
For example, you may have noticed that trying not to be anxious often adds to the feeling of anxiety. Thus, in ACT, the therapist will teach you several skills, including mindfulness, to promote a more flexible, open mindset. 
 
This helps you to commit to changing your behaviour and leads you to stop struggling against the odds. You learn how to live a life that is aligned with your values. This combination of acceptance and commitment to personal values eventually leads to healthier thought processes and behaviours.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Emotion focused therapy is a short-term therapy which believes that your emotions play a key role in who you are and what you do. Thus, the focus of therapy is on increasing awareness, and acceptance of emotions. This form of therapy can be used with individuals, couples or families. It is a collaborative form of therapy where the client plays an active role in identifying and interpreting their emotions.
 
With this form of therapy, you will learn how to better interpret your emotions to promote healthier behaviours and live a more meaningful life. You will also learn better emotional regulation and interpersonal skills.

Emotion Focused Approach (EFT)

According to Existential Psychotherapy, 4 main roadblocks prevent you from living your best life. These are - death, meaninglessness, isolation, freedom or a responsibility to make the best choices. An existential therapist can help you address these issues via a set of therapeutic tools. Also, this kind of therapy does not focus too much on the past. It equips you with the ability to learn and grow in the present. 
 
For example, existential therapy believes that people who struggle with addiction are dealing with anxiety and fear because of one of the above-mentioned roadblocks. 
 
The main benefit of existential therapy is that it helps you cope with overwhelming feelings about the future and teaches you how to overcome fears in an optimistic way.

Existential Therapy

A Sex Positive Approach is based on validating and advocating for gender and sexual minority groups. This form of therapy also encourages clients to explore and discover their sexuality. Sex affirmative therapists are specifically trained and informed about various nuances of sexuality and gender. The therapist may use a combination of techniques from any of the above therapies, while ensuring a safe space where the client can work towards actively uplifting their sexual identity. The therapist will help you better discover your sexuality, in a non-judgemental space. 
 
This form of therapy will allow you to affirm your sexuality, while also addressing other treatment goals. This approach can be used in individual as well as couple sessions.

Sex Positive Approach

Schema Focused Approach is an integrated form of psychotherapy. It combines techniques from other forms of therapy like CBT, Attachment Theory, Gestalt therapy and similar. Schemas are unhelpful patterns that some people develop if their emotional needs aren’t met as a child. These schemas can affect you throughout life and contribute to problematic coping methods and behaviours. Some examples of schema beliefs are "I'm unlovable", "I'm a failure", "People don't care about me", and similar negative thoughts. 

Schema therapy aims to teach you how to ensure your emotional needs are met in a healthy way. It helps the person break these negative patterns of thinking, feeling or behaving and develop healthier alternatives to replace them. It shows promise as a treatment for many mental health concerns, including eating disorders, depression and personality disorders.
