Counselling with CBT Wellness is always individualised to meet your needs and goals. That said, there are several core approaches that inform the work we do. 

Our practice uses a lot of mindfulness skills to help reduce stress. Mindfulness encourages you to focus on the here and now instead of ruminating on the past or living in the future. It’s about increasing your self-awareness by simply observing the present moment instead of judging or thinking so hard about it. This can be done through meditation, deep breathing, and other calming strategies.
As our practice name suggests, CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) is deeply important to us. CBT can help you become more aware of how your thoughts influence the way you feel and behave. The goal is to introduce healthier ways of thinking and break out of unhelpful behaviour patterns. 

We also use a lot of DBT (Dialectical Behavioural Therapy). Whereas CBT focuses on your thinking, DBT is more about giving you concrete strategies for regulating anxiety. It can help you increase your tolerance to distress and also prevent distress from happening. It’s a useful form of treatment for panic attacks and episodes of severe anxiety. 

In the end, anxiety counselling is what our practice specialises in. It’s our bread and butter. The majority of clients who reach out to us suffer from anxiety, so we have lots of experience in this area. We are confident that we can help you decrease your stress levels and experience peace of mind.
