Approaches to Counselling
At Healthy Hearts Counselling, we utilize evidence-based practices to guide our approach to care. We tailor our treatment plans to meet individual needs, ensuring effective and personalized healing.
Cognitive Behavioural Technique (CBT)
Emphasizes the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In counselling, CBT helps individuals identify and transform negative thought patterns, fostering healthier emotions and behaviors for long-term well-being.
Mindfulness Based Counselling
Combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness strategies. At Healthy Hearts Counselling, our DBT informed sessions empower individuals to manage intense emotions, build interpersonal skills, and enhance overall emotional well-being.
Acceptance and Commitment Technique (ACT)
A mindfulness-based approach designed to help individuals embrace and accept their thoughts and feelings. Through guided sessions, we empower clients to commit to meaningful actions aligned with their values, fostering personal growth and well-being.
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
This client-centered approach that helps people find the motivation to change by addressing any mixed feelings they might have. In counselling, MI supports individuals in making positive changes by focusing on their personal goals and values.
Person Centered Counselling
This approach believes individuals can understand and resolve their own problems in a supportive, non-judgmental environment. It emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness to help clients achieve personal growth and self-acceptance.
Family Systems Counselling
This approach focuses on the family as a unit and examines how family dynamics impact individual members. By addressing and improving these interactions, it helps families resolve conflicts and build healthier relationships.
