DELAPPE'S APPROACH TO THERAPY
I use various therapeutic approaches to therapy to ensure your are heard and validated in a non judgmental, empathetic and confidential environment. I believe you are the authority of your own life. My role is to help you believe in yourself and offer guidance in how to get from point A to point B.
Some of the approaches I use are;
Person Centred Therapy - I walk along side of you on your own journey - you are in charge!
Narrative Therapy - I listen to your story and help you rewrite it, on your terms.
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy CBT - We work on your inner dialogue and self belief, and help you reframe that to a more positive and aligned narrative.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ACT - We work together on identifying and committing to your own set of values, goals and visions for your future.
Solution Focussed Therapy - We look at options to solve and resolve issues in your life.
Psycho-education - I offer and use many models of behavioural psychology and demonstrate those in our sessions, such as the Grief and Loss Cycle and the Cycle of Change.
Motivational Interviewing - I challenge you on various perspectives you might have about an issue and then question you about the choices you have made, to get a deeper understanding of what is happening.
Homework - It's rare to get change in a one hour session. Change requires commitment and focus and a real desire to want change in your life. I set follow up homework after our sessions, to try out some of the strategies we have talked about in our session. We then talk about this in our next session.
