Individual Therapy

---

Therapy is a process of exploring the psychological and emotional distress one experiences within a safe space. In this, we work on interventions aimed at regulating emotions & moods, coping with stressors, bringing about lifestyle changes, improving personal and professional relationships, and finding balance after significant life changes.

As trained psychotherapists, we also employ psychological evaluations as required, for both clinical or non clinical mental disorders. 

Our sessions are held online, usually 60 minutes long and a frequency of one day a week is recommended. For more severe/acute issues twice a week may be considered. It may take about 6-8 sessions to understand the match and fall into a rhythm, but how long therapy continues depends entirely on each client - the nature and complexity of the issue/s, willingness of the client, and the depth of inner work.

Some of the methods of our work are

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is a method of psychological intervention that aims to improve one’s mental health by examining and replacing unhelpful patterns of thinking. It focuses on improving emotion regulation and development of personal coping strategies that target solving current problems. 

Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) This method of therapy combines cognitive behavioural strategies and practises such as mindfulness, presence and breath work to enable a person to better understand and manage distressing thoughts and emotions. 

Expressive Arts Therapy (EXAT) emphasises artistic experience as a tool for self discovery and self expression. It uses various arts - movement, drawing, painting, writing, music in a supportive setting to facilitate healing and growth. One does not need prior experience with any art form to benefit from EXAT.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is an evidence based psychotherapy that is useful in treating mood disorders, suicidal ideation and behaviour patterns such as self harm and substance use. It provides tools for regulating emotions, developing tolerance and coping with distress, improving effectiveness in relationships, and mindfulness. 

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps the person recognize ways in which their attempts to suppress, manage and control emotional experiences creates challenges. By recognizing and addressing these challenges, a person can become better able to live and behave in ways consistent with personal values.
