Types of Adult Therapy and Their Benefits
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): Shifting Unhelpful Thought Patterns
CBT helps you recognize and change unhelpful thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. By shifting the way you think, you can improve how you feel and make better decisions. It’s structured, goal-oriented, and great for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Finding Calm in the Present
Mindfulness-based therapy blends meditation and awareness techniques with traditional therapy. It helps you:
- Reduce stress by focusing on the present
- Improve emotional regulation by responding calmly to feelings
- Deepen self-awareness and connection to your emotions
- Cultivate self-compassion and a more positive mindset
By learning to accept emotions without judgment, mindfulness therapy can help you feel more grounded and in control.
Attachment Therapy: Strengthening Your Relationships
Our early relationships shape how we connect with others as adults. Attachment therapy helps you:
- Understand your attachment style (secure, anxious, avoidant, or disorganized)
- Communicate more openly and express emotions with confidence
- Break unhealthy patterns that may be affecting your relationships
- Build deeper, more fulfilling connections with those around you
This therapy fosters emotional security, helping you create healthier, more meaningful relationships.
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT): Understanding Yourself on a Deeper Level
EFT helps you connect with your emotions, understand your needs, and process feelings in a healthy way. By learning to regulate emotions and reframe experiences, you gain emotional intelligence and a stronger sense of self.
- Helps you recognize underlying emotions and their impact
- Encourages self-reflection and personal insight
- Provides tools for healthy emotional expression and growth
EFT teaches you how to work with your emotions, rather than feeling controlled by them.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT): Managing Anxiety with Acceptance
Instead of fighting anxious thoughts, ACT teaches you to accept them while focusing on what truly matters. With mindfulness, values-based action, and cognitive techniques, ACT helps you:
- Detach from anxious thoughts instead of letting them define you
- Stay present and grounded, even in moments of stress
- Take meaningful action that aligns with your personal values
ACT helps reduce anxiety’s grip and allows you to live a more fulfilling, purpose-driven life.
