Our Therapy Techniques
We utilise several different therapeutic modalities in our work at Central Coast Counselling and Therapy including:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patters and behaviours that contribute to emotional distress.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT
ACT helps people accept difficult emotions and thoughts rather than fighting them, while committing to actions aligned with their personal values.
Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is a structured therapy used to help process and heal from traumatic memories. Through eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, people can reprocess painful experiences and reduce their emotional impact.
Narrative Therapy
Narrative Therapy empowers people to take control of their life stories by exploring how they perceive and frame their experiences.
Positive Psychology
Positive Psychology focuses on enhancing strengths, building resilience, and fostering a sense of wellbeing.
