Theoretical approaches CBT, TA, PCAT, ECOTHERAPY

My theoretical approach is an integrative / eclectic approach within a humanistic framework of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Transactional Analysis (TA) –incorporating aspects of Inner Child and Re-decision Therapy- Person Centred Art Therapy (PCAT) and Ecotherapy work in both indoor and outdoor natural

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

CBT was developed by Albert Ellis and Aaron T Beck and works with the concept that our thinking feeling and behaviour are interlinked (CBT) can quickly empower clients to rationalise the activating thoughts, beliefs and consequences which affect our lives and issues. I often use CBT as a short term therapy but more often as a part of an integrative or eclectic approach to stabilise issues around a client’s perception of fears, anxieties and feelings of self worth.

Transactional Analysis (TA)

Transactional Analysis (T.A.) was first developed by Eric Berne, works from the principle that we have ego states of (P) Parent (A) Adult (C) Child and that our current issues and problems might form in our early “Life Script” The events and patterns in our early childhood life. Transactional Analysis (T.A.) helps the Client to rediscover their Inner Natural or Free Child (Cf). The part of each of us that may never have been allowed to flourish because of life’s “Should and Shouldn’t” of our internal Critical (Controlling) Parents (Pc) conditional love or other injunctions and messages.

Person Centred Art Therapy (PCAT)

Leisl Silverstone formulated P.C.A.T. out of her disillusionment of other analytical approaches to Art Therapy where the Clients imagery is interpreted by the analyst. In P.C.A.T. the Clients chosen objects or made imagery / drawings are reflected back to the client, discovering what colours shapes and visual representations mean for the client. Techniques of “Bridging” allow the Client to go deeper into their meaning of their imagery. The Clients discoveries are reflected as an essence of what their image has brought up for them. I use Person Centred Art Therapy (P.C.A.T.) within a counsellor / therapy framework to enable my Client’s to visualise and create their own personal art work images and reflect on what these deep personal images mean for them. These images often contain or trigger deeply felt issues that can not as easily be expressed in the talking therapies. I use (P.C.A.T.) as a practice in its own right, as individual or group-work practice, or as part of an integrative inner child work approach.

ECOTHERAPY

Ecotherapy is concerned with our connection to the natural environment as a therapeutic alliance of human and non-human worlds, where being in and being part of the natural world influences our wellbeing. My practice is within easy reach of the beach and seashore and offers the potential for therapeutic work in the landscape in experiential, creative and talking therapies in the outdoors. A more detailed outline of my ecotherapy work can be found on my News and Workshops, Earth sand circles and Mandalas and Seaforth Road practice pages through the buttons at the top of the page.
