Types of evidence-based therapy that we use

Evidence-based therapies are approaches to treatment that are supported by research and clinical evidence. Here are some common types:

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviours.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT): A form of CBT that emphasizes emotion regulation, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness, often used for borderline personality disorder.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Encourages individuals to accept their thoughts and feelings while committing to values-based actions.

Exposure Therapy: Gradually exposes individuals to feared situations or stimuli to reduce anxiety responses.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR): Combines mindfulness meditation and yoga to help manage stress and improve mental health.

Interpersonal Therapy (IPT): Focuses on improving interpersonal relationships and social functioning to alleviate symptoms of depression.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT): Concentrates on finding solutions in the present and exploring hope for the future rather than delving into past problems.

These therapies are used in various settings and can be tailored to meet individual needs.
