Therapeutic Approach
Emotion Focused Individual Therapy
Emotion-Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) helps people explore and understand their emotions to promote healing and personal growth. This approach focuses on identifying and transforming difficult emotions like fear, anger, or sadness, which may be causing distress.
In EFIT, the therapist provides a safe and supportive space for clients to express and process their feelings. By working through these emotions, clients can develop healthier emotional responses and improve their overall well-being.
EFIT is effective for addressing issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles, helping individuals build greater self-awareness and emotional resilience.
Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MB-CBT) is an integrative approach that combines the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with mindfulness practices. At Infinity Counselling, we use MB-CBT to help clients become more aware of their thoughts and emotions in the present moment, without judgment. This heightened awareness allows clients to recognize and challenge negative thinking patterns, reduce stress, and develop healthier coping strategies.
By integrating mindfulness, clients learn to stay grounded in the present, which can decrease reactivity to distressing thoughts and emotions. MB-CBT empowers individuals to break free from unhelpful thought cycles, leading to greater emotional balance, improved mental health, and a more fulfilling life.
Mindful Self Compassion
Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) is a therapeutic approach that combines mindfulness with the practice of self-compassion. At Infinity Counselling, we guide clients in developing a kinder, more supportive relationship with themselves. By cultivating mindfulness, clients learn to observe their thoughts and emotions without judgment, while self-compassion encourages them to respond to their struggles with understanding and care, rather than criticism.
This approach helps individuals manage difficult emotions, reduce self-criticism, and build resilience, leading to a deeper sense of inner peace and well-being. Mindful Self-Compassion empowers clients to treat themselves with the same kindness and compassion they would offer to a close friend, fostering healing and personal growth.
​
Systems Therapy
Systems Therapy views individuals as part of a larger, interconnected system, often focusing on family dynamics. At Infinity Counselling, this approach recognizes that mental health and well-being are shaped by relationships in families, workplaces, and social circles.
By exploring how these relationships affect your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, Systems Therapy helps identify patterns that may contribute to challenges. Together, we work to create positive change, not just for you, but for the entire system. Whether you're facing family conflict, communication issues, or trauma, this approach fosters healing, improves dynamics, and promotes lasting, healthier relationships.
Gottman Method Couples Therapy
The Gottman Method is a research-based approach to couples therapy that helps partners strengthen communication, deepen emotional connection, and build trust. Developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, this method focuses on key relationship components like managing conflict, enhancing fondness, and creating shared meaning. At Infinity Counselling, we use the Gottman Method to provide couples with practical tools and techniques for building a more fulfilling and resilient relationship.
