SYDNEY PSYCHOTHERAPY TECHNIQUES

We recognise that each person we work with is unique and we therefore tailor our approach to the individual to ensure we get the best possible results, for you, as quickly as possible. The key is to use a combination of techniques that are personalised for you. Because of this holistic approach, we can make a significant difference in just a few sessions. Some of the techniques we use are:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy: This is an empirically proven therapy which helps you identify how thinking patterns contribute to your feelings and behaviour. We offer strategies to challenge and alter these thinking patterns so that they become more adaptive.
  
  
• Clinical Hypnotherapy: Another empirically proven therapy which creates a "golden handshake" between the subconscious and conscious mind, helping you to fast-track positive changes in your life.
  
  
• Neuro Linguistic Programming: With a central philosophy that what the mind agrees with the body will respond to, using NLP we can assist you in changing your physiology and neurology to help you achieve your goals.
  
  
• Brief Therapy: Brief therapy is often described as highly strategic, exploratory, and solution-based rather than problem-oriented. It is less concerned with how a problem arose than with the current factors sustaining it and preventing change. Brief therapy does not adhere to one "correct" approach and we acknowledge that there may be many paths you can take towards a healthier and happier you.
  
  
• Meridian Energy (EFT, TFT and Kinesiology): Used in conjunction with other aligned therapies, we have a history of excellent results with clients in healing trauma and abuse, fears and phobias, panic and anxiety, depression, addictions and compulsions. These techniques realign the disrupted energy meridians and address underlying emotional issues to aid healing, which can also provide relief for a wide range of physical symptoms including headaches, pain management and weight.

EVIDENCE & TESTIMONIALS

In a recent survey by American Health Magazine, Dr Alfred A. Barrios identified the top 2 successful therapies (in terms of recovery rates) as:

• Clinincal Hypnotherapy with a 93% success rate after just 6 sessions
  
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a 72% success rate after an average of 10 sessions

The Royal College of Psychiatrists also suggests that CBT is “one of the most effective treatments for conditions where anxiety or depression is the main problem”.

When it comes to Brief Therapy, there are now over 32 published research studies, which show successful outcomes in up to 83% of cases. The highest satisfaction ratings come from clients themselves and some of the research studies relate to mental health problems, drug and alcohol use, as well as violent and unsocial behaviour. These improvements were seen after an average of between 5 and 12 sessions. A review of the research can be found at “Brief – The Research Evidence”

NLP is one of the most successful change agents for people in the pursuit of excellence. When used in conjunction with other therapeutic modalities it provides immediately useful and effective techniques, which often achieve outstanding results in very short time frames.
