Different processes and methods involved in counseling

Person-centered therapy

Person-centered therapy, also known as person-centered psychotherapy, person-centered counseling,

client-centered therapy and Rogerian psychotherapy, is a form of psychotherapy developed by
psychologist Carl Rogers and colleagues beginning in the 1940s and extending into the 1980s.
Psychoanalysis

Psychoanalysis is a set of theories and therapeutic techniques that deal in part with the unconscious
mind, and which together form a method of treatment for mental disorders.

Humanistic psychology

Humanistic psychology is a psychological perspective that arose in the mid-20th century in answer to
two theories: Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory and B. F. Skinner's behaviorism. Thus, Abraham
Maslow established the need for a "third force" in psychology.

Art therapy

Art therapy is a distinct discipline that incorporates creative methods of expression through visual art
media. Art therapy, as a creative arts therapy profession, originated in the fields of art and
psychotherapy and may vary in definition.

Systemic therapy

Systemic therapy is a type of psychotherapy that seeks to address people in relationships, dealing with
the interactions of groups and their interactional patterns and dynamics. Early forms of systemic therapy
were based on cybernetics and systems theory.

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is an approach to psychotherapy that uses cognitive behavioral

therapy methods in collaboration with mindfulness meditative practices and similar psychological
strategies.

Solution-focused brief therapy

Solution-focused therapy is a goal-directed collaborative approach to psychotherapeutic change that is

conducted through direct observation of clients' responses to a series of precisely constructed questions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy is a psycho-social intervention that aims to reduce symptoms of various
mental health conditions, primarily depression and anxiety disorders. Cognitive behavioral therapy is one
of the most effective means of treatment for substance abuse and co-occurring mental health disorders

Psychodynamic therapy

focuses on the psychological roots of emotional suffering. Its hallmarks are self-reflection and self-
examination, and the use of the relationship between therapist and patient as a window into
problematic relationship patterns in the patient’s life. Its goal is not only to alleviate the most obvious
symptoms but to help people lead healthier lives.

Gestalt therapy

is a form of psychotherapy that emphasizes personal responsibility and focuses on the individual's
experience in the present moment, the therapist–client relationship, the environmental and social
contexts of a person's life, and the self-regulating adjustments people make as a result of their overall
situation.

Coaching

Coaching is a form of development in which an experienced person, called a coach, supports a learner or
client in achieving a specific personal or professional goal by providing training and guidance. The learner
is sometimes called a coachee.

Integrative psychotherapy

Integrative counselling looks at the whole person, taking into account your mental, physical and
emotional needs.

Family therapy

Family therapy is a branch of psychotherapy focused on families and couples in intimate relationships to
nurture change and development. It tends to view change in terms of the systems of interaction
between family members

Behaviour therapy

Behaviour therapy or behavioural psychotherapy is a broad term referring to clinical psychotherapy that
uses techniques derived from behaviourism and/or cognitive psychology.

Group therapy

Group psychotherapy or group therapy is a form of psychotherapy in which one or more therapists treat
a small group of clients together as a group.

Dialectical behavior therapy

Dialectical behavior therapy is an evidence-based psychotherapy that began with efforts to treat
personality disorders and interpersonal conflicts. Evidence suggests that DBT can be useful in treating
mood disorders and suicidal ideation as well as for changing behavioral patterns such as self-harm and
substance use.

Narrative therapy

Narrative therapy is a form of psychotherapy that seeks to help patients identify their values and the
skills associated with them. It provides the patient with knowledge of their ability to live these values so
they can effectively confront current and future problems.

Interpersonal psychotherapy

Interpersonal psychotherapy is a brief, attachment-focused psychotherapy that centers on resolving

interpersonal problems and symptomatic recovery. It is an empirically supported treatment that follows
a highly structured and time-limited approach and is intended to be completed within 12–16 weeks.
