Therapy Types
Our Therapeutic Approaches
At Field and Mind Psychology, we recognise that every person has a different story, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy.
Carla draws on a range of evidence-based and trauma-informed therapeutic approaches, tailoring sessions to each person's individual needs, experiences and goals.
Therapy may incorporate one or more of the following approaches:
-
Explores longstanding patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving that may develop through early life experiences and influence relationships, emotional wellbeing and self-perception.
-
A structured therapy that helps people process distressing or traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing emotional impact.
-
Supports people to develop psychological flexibility, make room for difficult thoughts and feelings, and take meaningful action guided by their personal values.
-
Focuses on developing practical skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness and interpersonal relationships.
-
Helps people explore the stories they hold about themselves and their experiences, creating opportunities to develop new perspectives and recognise their strengths.
-
Incorporates interactions with horses within a therapeutic setting to support emotional awareness, self-understanding, confidence, regulation and connection.
-
Explores the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviours, helping people identify unhelpful patterns and develop more helpful ways of responding to life's challenges.
-
Adapts cognitive behavioural approaches with an understanding of how trauma can affect thoughts, emotions, behaviours and the nervous system, prioritising safety, choice and collaboration.
