Individual Therapy means meeting with your therapist on a one-on-one basis.  Today there are many different platforms to enable individual therapy to take place.

Many therapists today integrate different therapy styles such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), psychoanalysis and/or person-centred therapy.  However, some therapists work in a more purist way only utilising one form of therapy such as CBT, Schema Therapy or DBT (Dialectic Behaviour Therapy). See below for a more extensive list of different types of therapy.

Talking therapies such as counselling can be used to help with many different mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, loss and bereavement, relationship difficulties, low self esteem, traumas from childhood and adulthood, workplace stress etc. Other than counselling below you can find a selection of what we offer here at Talk in The Bay:

• Art Therapy: using art and drawing to understand and communicate difficult emotions
• Behaviour Therapy: explores and understands the way you act and behave in different situations
• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): explores your thoughts and emotions and how these impact on your behaviour
• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT): Explore opposing positions and how these can co-exist
• Drama Therapy: using drama and music to understand and communicate difficult emotions
• Humanistic Therapy: Focuses on the mind, body, spirit and soul of the individual
• Mindfulness Based Therapy: becoming aware of your thoughts and feelings and learning to live in the present
• Person Centred Therapy: Focus on the self and your strengths and how you can transfer these into personal growth
• Solution Focussed Therapy: Focuses on what you want to achieve in the future
• EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing): EMDR is a specialist, integrative model that
  includes CBT, hypnosis and neurobiological mechanisms to trauma.

It is important to note that you do not have to know what therapy might be best suited to you before your first session.
