Treatment Approaches Include:
Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a structured, evidence-based treatment that focuses on identifying and challenging unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It aims to improve emotional regulation and develop personal coping strategies, making it highly effective for conditions like depression and anxiety.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and emotions rather than avoiding them, enabling clients to live in alignment with their core values. ACT is particularly effective in managing depression, anxiety, chronic pain, and existential life challenges.s.
