Individual Therapy

ISTDP Therapy

I primarily provide a therapy called Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP). That is a big word but let me explain more about it here. If you would rather watch a video on the topic, check out the YouTube video below, where I explain what the topic is exactly.

Getting safe, relinquishing our toxic defence mechanisms, regulating our anxiety, and accessing our genuine feelings is key to a good life and ISTDP is a modern therapy that attempts to achieve just that.

ISTDP is based on attachment theory, psychodynamic theory, neurobiology, and psychophysiology. So it examines how your childhood patterns resulted in anxiety provoking defence mechanisms that you use today but are not aware of.

ISTDP is an evidence based treatment (i.e., it’s proven to be effective) with a strong theoretical basis.

CBT

I also provide Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. CBT is the most scientifically tested therapy there is and just about anything and everything that can be scientifically tested about it has been. If you would rather watch a video on the topic, check out this youtube video where I explain what the topic is exactly.

CBT is an effective therapy that is based largely on psychological models of pathology and treatment, Behavioural Theory, and Neurobiology. It helps you recognise the triggers of your thoughts and how your thoughts cause your feelings and then how your feelings in turn cause your behaviours. It helps you reframe your negative or toxic positive thoughts into realistic thoughts and helps you engage in healthy behaviours for you.
