Throughout my career, I have been committed to receiving CBT training and offer CBT. My current focus is Experiential CBT. I received specialized training and supervision from Dr. S. Rao, founder of IXT Mind. (/https://ixtmind.com).
Structured CBT psychotherapy is offered in the following areas:
•Behavioural Activation (BA) for Depression
•Skin Picking And Hair Pulling Disorders
• Adult ADHD
• Health/Illness Anxiety & Somatic Symptom Disorders
• Rumination
• Social Anxiety Disorder
• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
• Generalized Anxiety Disorder
• Psychosis
I also use other approaches that are derived from or that complement CBT such as: Cognitive Restructuring (CR), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (MBCBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Schema Focused Therapy. I have provided Cognitive Restructuring for PTSD for Concurrent Disorders (co-occurring mental health and addictions) in individual and group settings.
Experiential CBT Explained
CBT takes a structured approach. As such, you will have an idea of the number of sessions and length of treatment required to meet a specific goal. Your treatment plan and length will vary depending on the type of problem and its severity. CBT focuses primarily on current problems as opposed to past events.
Experiential CBT synthesizes traditional cognitive and behavioral therapies, mindfulness and third wave schools, solution focused positive psychological and motivational coaching. “The third wave is a movement away from the cognitive focus on what we think and feel, and towards a focus on how we relate to what we think and feel.” (https://www.harleytherapy.co.uk/counselling/what-is-third-wave-therapy.htm)
