CBT is a well researched form of psychotherapy that has been found effective in the treatment of a wide range of conditions, such as anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), fears, panic disorder, stress and burnout.
In the beginning of the therapeutic work I assess your situation thoroughly. Then, we set the initial aims and objectives and discuss what kind treatment methods could be beneficial for you. Therapeutic aims may for instance include increasing emotion efficacy skills, decreasing different forms of avoidance, rehearsing a more flexible way of dealing with one´s thoughts, or learning self-compassion. The general aim is to learn skills that support individual wellbeing and find solutions that enable a meaningful life guided by personal values.
During the therapy sessions we explore your thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, urges and actions. I often suggest some homework assignments that might encourage you to apply the skills learned during sessions to situations that arise in everyday life and improve the outcomes of therapy.
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
INTEGRATIVE APPROACH
In my clinical work I apply principles and experiential methods underpinned by Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), Compassion focused therapy (CFT), Emotion efficacy therapy (EET) and body psychotherapy. Apart from discussing things, therapy work may involve for instance mindfulness practices, learning emotion efficacy skills through imaginary exercises, or looking at inner experiences through images or body based explorations. The treatment methods are chosen individually to meet your needs. The most essential treatment factor is a confidential and co-operative therapeutic relationship, in which it feels safe to experiment with new ways of being and doing things.
