Counselling and psychotherapy are usually applied interchangeably and refer to talk therapy with the goal of helping clients develop a better understanding of themselves and facilitate change for improvement. Shorter terms of therapy may also be used to focus on specific immediate issues and well-being. The counsellors at Maple Tree Counselling are all trained and experienced in several evidence-based psychotherapies. These evidence-based therapies used include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT); Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT); Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT); Schema Therapy; Psychodynamic Therapy; Narrative Therapy; and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). More about these therapy approaches can be gleaned from https://www.mapletreecounselling.com/therapy-approaches

In ACT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, the psychotherapy sessions are designed to teach clients to accept what is beyond their control and instead focus on committed actions for achieving a more meaningful existence. Clients realize that negative thoughts and feelings can’t be avoided, but they can establish a healthy space between themselves and any unwanted experiences through the use of targeted cognitive and behavioural techniques, such as mindfulness. Clients are able to develop psychological flexibility that enables them to remain present during hard times.

The CBT, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, sessions are focused on the connections between emotions, thoughts, behaviours, and physical sensations. Clients learn to identify the presence of any unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that usually lead to troubling emotions and symptoms. This is an active form of psychotherapy where clients are encouraged to practice their skills in between sessions.

MBCT or ​​mindfulness-based psychotherapy employs a combination of mindfulness practices and cognitive methods. Breathing and meditation exercises are also used to relieve overwhelming emotions and help calm down the nervous system. Clients learn to accept and observe what is happening, including adverse events, without judgement. MBCT is often used to interrupt automatic stress responses and break cycles of depression and anxiety.

Schema therapy integrates the elements of psychodynamic therapy and CBT with the goal of helping clients modify their long-standing maladaptive behaviour and thought patterns. Schemas are deep, self-defeating belief systems that usually originate in childhood causing certain behaviours throughout a person’s life. The sessions are focused on replacing schemas with healthier behavioural patterns to meet emotional needs, such as finding self-worth and nurturing relationships.

In the psychodynamic therapy sessions, there is an in-depth exploration of how past emotions and experiences affect current behaviours, relationships, and decision-making. This kind of therapy is based on the concept that a better understanding of the past will provide more clarity and encourage healthy behaviours for the future.
