Other Types of Therapy Available

This page briefly describes a broad spectrum of other therapies recognised by the UK Council for Psychotherapy.

Psychotherapeutic Counseling
    The role of the counselor is to experience and
    display unconditional regard and acceptance toward
    the client - to trust in the capacity of the client to
    find solutions within themselves - and neither to
    intervene nor offer interpretations but to reflect back
    what the client says for their own consideration.

Cognitive Behavioural
    The aim is to replace unthinking reactions with
    consciously re-learned patterns of thinking and
    acting. This is a very rational approach. Feelings are
    related to ways of thinking. There is no reference
    within this framework to unconscious processes.

PsychoAnalytic & Psychodynamic
    Based in the notion that we categorise experience
    in terms of patterns we acquired through our early
    upbringing and through the experience of significant
    persons and events to do with critical developmental
    life stages; we project our feelings and difficulties
    Belonging to those earlier scenarios onto others
    rather than reacting and relating to present persons
    and events. The intensive therapeutic process
    seeks to uncover, analyse and achieve adjustment
    to such processes.

Humanistic and Integrative
    A broad range of relational therapies which develop
    understanding through exploration of the patterns of
    relationship that are experienced in the therapy
    room to illuminate processes occurring elsewhere in
    the person's life. Some of these approaches have a
    strong spiritual component.
