Trauma Counselling

Compassion

Individual, couples, and family therapy is handled with compassion, generosity, and respect by our team members. In our words, actions, and thoughts, we are non-judgmental, accepting, and caring. While maintaining a professional manner, we provide feedback to the client on what we’ve observed. By combining sincerity with respect, the client is better able to connect with both themselves and those they care about.

Collaboration

In therapy and in our personal relationships, we place a high value on collaborating as a team. Direct Therapy was born out of a desire to provide a team-based approach to helping clients heal while also improving our own therapeutic skills. We are here for you every step of the way.

Teamwork

Collective approaches are utilised in specific, couple, and family counselling sessions. Our therapists’ distinct skill set and the client’s desire to resolve and address the presenting problem generate original ideas and solutions. With the help of our professional colleagues, we can find new hope and opportunities for a life filled with love and joy, regardless of circumstance. Everything we do is guided by our belief in the power of teamwork and spiritual wisdom.

Privacy

People’s privacy is a top concern for us. In this sacred space, nothing is said or done that should not be said or done here. When we meet with the other specialists in the team to discuss cases, we do so only for the purpose of enhancing our own professional development. When there are genuine concerns regarding the safety of the client, others, or children, privacy is limited.

What is CBT's underlying viewpoint?

According to CBT, what we think about a circumstance can influence the way that we feel as well as act. For example, if you view a situation negatively, you may feel negative emotions. It’s also possible that you’ll act on those negative feelings.

CBT is a mix of cognitive behavioural therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy.

Cognitive therapy focuses on what you think and do, whereas behavioural therapy focuses on what you say and do.

What can CBT Treat?

CBT is used to treat a range of problems.

CBT is commonly utilised to deal with a wide variety of mental health issues, including:

  • Problems with anger
  • Panic attacks
  • Anxiety
  • Bipolar disorder
  • A history of substance abuse
  • An eating disorder
  • Hoarding (OCD symptoms)
  • Mental health issues that arise during pregnancy
  • PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder)
  • Psychosis
  • Psychotic disorders
  • Schizophrenia
  • Self-harm
  • Sleep problems

The treatment for a mental health issue may include an adaptation of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). It is possible that some CBT adaptations for specific issues may have different names.

How Do Sessions Work?

A specialist deals with you to identify as well as challenge adverse idea patterns and practices in CBT.

You and your therapist might review the events of the present moment. It’s additionally an excellent idea to discuss the impact of your previous life occasions.

In most cases, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a temporary option with a limited variety of sessions. Depending on where you live, what kind of treatment centre you most likely to, and why you’re getting CBT, your experience may vary.

What Happens Afterwards

Throughout the CBT sessions, you may engage in the following:

As you collaborate with your therapist, you’ll complete exercises to analyse your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and you’ll agree on tasks to work on in your own time.
CBT may require you to participate in activities outside of your treatment sessions. This may involve completing worksheets or maintaining a journal.

Throughout therapy, you might need to dedicate some of your own time to the work. After the treatment is over, you may still need to continue these tasks.
