Talk to Becky.

Approaches Becky draws on

• Integrative

  The therapist draws on several approaches, adapting to what suits each young person rather than following one method.

• Person-centred

  The young person leads the conversation while the therapist listens without judgement, helping them find their own way forward.

• CBT (Cognitive behavioural therapy)

  Practical, structured work on the patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going.

• Trauma-informed

  Works at the young person's pace with an understanding of how difficult experiences affect the mind and body.

• Art and creative therapies

  Uses art, music or movement to express and explore feelings that are hard to put into words.

• Play therapy

  Helps children express and work through feelings using play, their natural way of communicating.

• Attachment-based

  Explores how a young person's closest bonds shape how safe and secure they feel with others.

• Narrative therapy

  Helps young people retell the story of their difficulties in a way that separates the problem from who they are.

• Psychodynamic

  Explores how earlier experiences and relationships shape how a young person feels and behaves today.

• Humanistic

  Focuses on growth and potential, treating the young person as a whole person rather than a set of symptoms.

• Solution-focused therapy

  Short-term work that concentrates on goals and strengths rather than analysing problems.

• DBT (Dialectical behaviour therapy)

  Teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and getting on better with others.

• ACT (Acceptance and commitment therapy)

  Helps young people make room for difficult feelings while focusing on what matters to them.

• Compassion-focused therapy

  Helps young people be kinder to themselves, particularly if they struggle with shame or self-criticism.

• Motivational interviewing

  A collaborative style that helps young people find their own reasons to make a change.
