SHORT TERM COGNITIVE BEHAVIOUR THERAPY

This particular modality explains that the way we think affects the way we feel. In order to improve negative feelings, clients are taught to challenge their "faulty" thinking styles. This method of therapy can be short-term and extremely helpful with anxiety, panic disorders and depression.

LONG TERM PSYCHOTHERAPY

Long-term therapies tend to be less structured in approach, but can still incorporate specific goals and behaviours are targeted. Long-term psychotherapy takes the time to go deeper and understand the origins of unwanted feelings and behaviours. This approach can alleviate acute emotional issues, such as pervasive feelings of dissatisfaction or emptiness, a lack of passion for one's daily life or stagnation within one's intimate relationships.

SOLUTIONS FOCUSED BRIEF THERAPY

Also just known as solution focused therapy, is an approach that does not focus on the past, but instead, focuses on the present and future. This particular modality explains that change is constant and the therapist assists clients to identify and construct a concrete vision of a preferred future and move towards this.
