Why and What type of treatment?

Our thoughts and behaviours are adaptable. We understand that through the process of neuroplasticity we can change the way we think and do things to improve our well-being and lead more engaged lives.

Think about the process of learning a new language or musical instrument. It takes practice and patience (and possibly a bit of genetic predisposition!). What we don’t really notice is the brain at work as we build these new skills. Throughout the process of learning, our brains are changing, developing and adapting. This process can continue throughout our lifetime.

Psychological therapy aims to develop new ways of thinking and more adaptive coping strategies to help us deal with life’s stressors and lead more fulfilling and engaged lives.

There are many psychological therapies or modalities which psychologists may choose from. Only some of these are supported by sufficient research to confidently state that they help clients recover from mental health issues.
