Therapeutic Approaches

There are about as many different approaches to therapy as there are therapists, but some approaches to therapy are well-established and widely known. In my practice I am familiar with, and tend to draw on the established therapies listed below.

Hakomi

Hakomi is a therapeutic technique of mindful awareness that helps uncover unconscious material.

Polyvagal Theory

Polyvagal theory is an explanation of how our bodies react to what we perceive as threats. Understanding this helps make our natural (and helpful) reactions less stressful.

IFS

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapeutic technique that helps people become aware of, and comfortable with, the different psychological 'parts' in them.
