Our
Approach
At
the Green Room, our aim is to create a safe,
relaxed and confidential environment where
clients can feel at
ease to open up and discuss any difficult
issues they may be experiencing or concerned
about.
We
endeavour to
help people develop, grow and feel whole; by
overcoming their fears, realising
and reaching their life goals, improving their
self-esteem, readjusting to life changes and
building and maintaining healthy relationships.
Our approach will vary depending on client needs. We do practice CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy), which is provened to be highly effective in the treatment of depression, anxiety and related problems.
Consultations with us involves detailed
discussion of the issues concerning the
client.
We intervene by:
- Assessing
the emotional, intellectual and
behavioural functioning of the client
- Exploring
the thoughts, emotions and behaviour of
the client and tracing their origins
- Helping
the client develop effective ways of
controlling and coping with these
difficulties
- Helping
the client to implement changes that
enhance wellbeing and awareness, and
alleviate the presenting problems.
Sessions are usually up to one hour in length, but
assessment sessions may be longer. The number
of sessions required will vary and is negotiated
with each client.
